A Molecular Multiproperty Switching Array Based on the Redox Behavior of a Ferrocenyl Polychlorotriphenylmethyl Radical

Abstract

All change: Three different output signals, chromic, nonlinear optical, and magnetic, can be altered simultaneously with the molecular switch based on radical 1. The electrochemical reduction and oxidation of 1 is completely reversible. These redox cycles can be repeated several times, and the corresponding changes in the optical properties can be monitored by visible spectroscopy.
