Cholesterol-substituted spiropyran : Photochromism, thermochromism, mechanochromism and its application in time-resolved information encryption

Organic multi-stimulus-responsive materials are widely used in anti-counterfeiting and information encryption due to their unique response characteristics and designability. However, progress in obtaining multi-stimulus-responsive smart materials has been very slow. Herein, a spiropyran derivative is constructed, which shows photochromic, thermochromic and mechanical photochromic properties, and has reversible absorption/luminescence adjustment ability. By introducing non-covalent interactions such as van der Waals force and hydrogen bond, this new molecule is more sensitive to external stimuli and exhibits better photochromic, mechanochromic and thermochromic properties with rapid speed and high contrast. Furthermore, these three stimulus responses can be completely restored to the initial state under white light irradiation. The reversible multiple response characteristics of this molecule make it possible to provide dynamic anti-counterfeiting and advanced information encryption capabilities. To demonstrate its application in advanced information encryption, powders treated with different stimuli are combined with fluorescent dyes to encrypt complex digital information. This work puts forward a new time-resolved encryption strategy, which provides important guidance for the development of time-resolved information security materials.
