  bibo_abstract:
  - Novel light-responsive nanoparticles were synthesized by decorating the surfaces
    of gold and silver nanoparticles with a nitrospiropyran molecular photoswitch.
    Upon exposure to UV light in nonpolar solvents, these nanoparticles self-assembled
    to afford spherical aggregates, which disassembled rapidly when the UV stimulus
    was turned off. The sizes of these aggregates depended on the nanoparticle concentration,
    and their lifetimes could be controlled by adjusting the surface concentration
    of nitrospiropyran on the nanoparticles. The conformational flexibility of nitrospiropyran,
    which was altered by modifying the structure of the background ligand, had a profound
    impact on the self-assembly process. By coating the nanoparticles with a spiropyran
    lacking the nitro group, a conceptually different self-assembly system, relying
    on a reversible proton transfer, was realized. The resulting particles spontaneously
    (in the dark) assembled into aggregates that could be readily disassembled upon
    exposure to blue light.@eng
