“…Pressure, pH, temperature, as well as electric and magnetic forces, may all be detected by smart materials. Combining NiTi alloys in a certain ratio results in a "smart material," which has the properties of a smart alloy [30][31][32][33]. The biomedical, aerospace, automotive, and electrical and electronic sectors can all benefit from the usage of NiTi alloys.…”

The term “smart materials” can be used to refer a wide variety of different kinds of substances. One capacity that is shared by all of them is the capability to radically alter one or more aspects while operating inside carefully controlled conditions. The age of intelligent materials is arrived, and we are living in it right now. An older definition of smart material described it as a substance that responds swiftly to the environment in which it is located. It has been argued that the word “smart material” now refers to any substance that is capable of detecting, transmitting, or processing a stimulus in order to produce a beneficial effect. This idea has been put forward as a possible expansion of the original meaning of the term. The purpose of this research is to define and categorize different types of intelligent materials. Uses of smart materials are being contemplated in a wide variety of domains, spanning from the realm of technology to that of the modern environment.

Over the past two decades, non‐covalent chemistry has introduced various promising artificial receptors and revolutionized the host‐guest chemistry. These versatile receptors have particularly been entertained in sensing and recognizing of diverse neutral molecules and/or ionic entities (e. g. anions, cations and ion‐pair) of particular interest. Notably, supramolecular chemistry had given birth to a plethora of important molecules, explored in the chemical, biological, environmental, and pharmacological world to resolve the critical issues related to the human health while keeping environmental concerns in mind. Amongst the various types of supramolecular monotopic receptors (anions, cations, and neutral molecules), heteroditopic receptors (ion‐pair receptors) consisting of distinct binding sites in one system for both cation and anion, have gained much interest from the scientific community in recent past because of their unique binding abilities. Interestingly, these promising artificial receptors have shown potential applications in sensing, recognition, transport and extraction processes besides their uses in salt/waste purification. Bearing the importance of these systems in mind, we intended to report the recent developments in ion‐pair chemistry. Herein, we divided the whole document into three main sections; first one describes the introduction and history of the ion‐pairs receptors. The second portion highlights the synthesis and applications of ion‐pair receptors in sensing, recognition, molecular machines, photoswitching behaviour, extraction and transport properties, whereas the last part of this manuscript provides concluding remarks as well as future prospects of ion‐pair receptors. We hope that this manuscript will be helpful to stimulating researchers around the globe to find out the hidden opportunities in this and related areas.

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Embedding photochromic molecular switches such as diarylethenes (DAEs) and azobenzenes into organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is one of the most efficient ways to realize highly efficient photoprogramming due to the bistable switching of OFET current levels by means of two different external wavelengths. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] This approach has a significant advantage in terms of imparting structural simplicity over strategies involving the use of other organic memory devices such as floating-gate-or electret-based OFETs, because only the channel layer is slightly tuned from a single-component organic semiconductor to an organic semiconductor/molecular switch mixture, while all other constituting layers of OFETs can be the same. [22][23][24][25][26][27] This advantage has led many researchers to attempt to realize high-performance photoprogrammable OFETs with various combinations of organic semiconductors and molecular switches.…”
