• Provide technical support in the synthesis of linear photovermellogen systems with the ability to respond simultaneously to acid–base and photochemical stimuli, leveraging E/Z isomerization of C=N bonds and modulation of pKa values around physiological pH.
• Support the development of photocolorboxes: implement photovermellogen in macrocycles and cryptands, explore structural diversity and dual-stimulus properties, with possibilities for functionalization through metal coordination or peptide coupling.
• Assist in applicability studies: evaluate phot...
