- Supramolecular photochemistry of encapsulated caged ortho-nitrobenzyl triggersPublication . Kamatham, Nareshbabu; Raj, A. Mohan; Givens, Richard S.; Da Silva, José Paulo; Ramamurthy, V.ortho-Nitrobenzyl (oNB) triggers have been extensively used to release various molecules of interest. However, the toxicity and reactivity of the spent chromophore, o-nitrosobenzaldehyde, remains an unaddressed difficulty. In this study we have applied the well-established supramolecular photochemical concepts to retain the spent trigger o-nitrosobenzaldehyde within the organic capsule after release of water-soluble acids and alcohols. The sequestering power of organic capsules for spent chromophores during photorelease from ortho-nitrobenzyl esters, ethers and alcohols is demonstrated with several examples.
