A half-salamo like N 3 O-donor ligand HL was synthesized and used for the construction of
Cu (II) and Ni (II) complexes, namely as [Cu (L)(NO 3)](1) & [Ni 2 (L) 2 (NO 3) 2]· 2H 2 O (2) …

Azoheteroarenes are emerging classes of photoswitches with versatile scaffolds that offer
distinct features such as efficient photoisomerization, tunable stability of the photoswitched …

Azopyrazoles are an emerging class of photoswitches, whereas analogous azoimidazole-
based switches are unable to draw much attention because of their short cis half-lives, poor …

Photochromic (PC) materials have potential applications in the fields of memory, anti-

We report the design and synthesis of eight photoswitchable phenylazopyridine‐and
phenylazopyrazole‐based molecular systems as chelation‐type light‐controllable ligands …

3-Trifluoromethyl-pyrazoles containing strong fluorophore groups: triphenylamine (TPAPz)
and carbazole (CarbPz), and their trinuclear silver (I) complexes are found to be emissive in …

Multi-addressable molecular switches with high sophistication are creating intensive
interest, but are challenging to control. Herein, we incorporated ring–chain dynamic covalent …

Transition metal complexes incorporating conjugated or non-conjugated azo-azomethine
ligands are emergent class compounds in organometallic and catalytic chemistry. Metal …

Nowadays, photochromic viologen-containing materials have shown a wide range of
practical applications. The synthesis of rapid photo-responsive photochromic materials still …

Electron-deficient viologens are widely used as ligands or structure-directing agents (SDAs)
to synthesize crystalline X-ray induced photochromic materials. Here, a new rational strategy …
