Almasi, Miroslav published the artcileA novel approach to achieve molecular switching in solid-state driving by thermal treatment: A photochromic zinc-coordination polymer, SDS of cas: 219537-97-0, the publication is Inorganica Chimica Acta (2020), 119879, database is CAplus.
The mol. switching of complexes based on diarylethenes in a solid-state is their most frequently studied property. This switching becomes possible when the active carbon atoms acquire a suitable interat. separation in the mol. Even if the structural anal. may suggest conditions disfavoring the occurrence of such switching, it may still be enabled by post-synthetic modification of the sample, like dehydration. In the present study, a novel one-dimensional coordination polymer with composition {[Zn(μ3-HA)(H2O)3]·H2O}n was prepared and characterized. In its solid state, however, its thiophene rings were arranged in the non-switchable conformation yielding a C···C separation 4.148(6) Å between the active carbon atoms. After fully dehydrating the sample, this interat. separation decreased to 3.814 Å, making it susceptible to photochromism by UV radiation.
