PHOTO-RESPONSIVE COORDINATION COMPOUNDS WITH PHOTO-CONTROLLABLE ELECTRON-TRANSPORTING AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTING PROPERTIES, AND FABRICATION OF ORGANIC ELECTRONICS AND ORGANIC RESISTIVE MEMORY DEVICES WITH PHOTO-SWITCHABLE PERFORMANCE

摘要

Disclosed is a new class of photo-responsive coordination compounds with at least one photochromic unit on a coordinating ligand. The photo-responsive coordination compounds are shown to be capable of acting as electroactive materials for the fabrication of organic memory devices as well as photo-controllable electron-transporting materials.
