However, all the NIR photochromic DTEs reported so far are located in the first NIR window (NIR-I, 700–900 nm), which usually shows shallower penetration in biological tissues due to autofluorescence and photon scattering compared to NIR light in the second window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm). Herein, we present a novel quinoxalinone-functionalized DTE derivative (<strong>QDTE</strong>) with acceptor (A)–DTE (D)–acceptor (A) structural features, in which electron-withdrawing quinoxalinone groups ensure visible light-driven NIR I photochromism. Besides, the facile protonation of the quinoxalinone moieties favors the formation of the more electron-deficient A′–D–A′-type DTE (<strong>QDTE-2H</strong>, where A′ is a stronger electron-withdrawing unit) for a unique NIR II photochromism by reducing the HOMO–LUMO energy gap of a closed isomer after protonation. As expected, the resulting <strong>QDTE</strong> displays a blue light-controlled NIR I photochromic performance in various solvents.

However, the latest research has unveiled that additional titanium species within the framework, such as penta-coordinated and hexa-coordinate titanium species, can also exert their influence on catalytic processes. The catalytic activities of various titanium species, including penta- and hexa-coordinated titanium, exhibit superiority over traditional tetra-coordinated framework titanium species in some reactions. The urgent necessity lies in establishing a comprehensive understanding of the formation principles of various titanium species, characterization, and investigating their catalytic properties across diverse reactions. This review provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary advances in titanosilicate zeolites. The regulatory strategies, detection methods, and catalytic properties of titanium species are comprehensively summarized. Furthermore, a universal analysis is conducted on the mechanism of titanium species in the hydrogen peroxide catalytic system, offering valuable insights into both catalytic mechanism and precise regulation of microenvironmental conditions and spatial distribution of titanium species.</p>","PeriodicalId":86,"journal":{"name":"Materials Chemistry Frontiers","volume":" 1","pages":" 8-29"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142826028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
