A unique magnetic electroswitching behavior has been observed in an oxamato-based permethylated dicopper(II) paracyclophane; upon reversible one-electron oxidation of the double tetramethyl-substituted p-phenylenediamidate bridging skeleton, the spin alignment of the two Cu(II) ions (S(Cu) = ½) changes from antiparallel (OFF) to parallel (ON) in the resulting dicopper(II) π-radical cation species.
