Photoswitching of the antiferromagnetic coupling in an oxamato-based dicopper(II) anthracenophane

Thermally reversible photomagnetic (ON/OFF) switching behavior has been observed in a dinuclear oxamatocopper(II) anthracenophane upon UV light irradiation and heating; the two Cu(II) ions (S(Cu) = 1/2) that are antiferromagnetically coupled in the dicopper(II) metallacyclic precursor (ON state) bec...

Zusammenfassung:Thermally reversible photomagnetic (ON/OFF) switching behavior has been observed in a dinuclear oxamatocopper(II) anthracenophane upon UV light irradiation and heating; the two Cu(II) ions (S(Cu) = 1/2) that are antiferromagnetically coupled in the dicopper(II) metallacyclic precursor (ON state) become uncoupled in the corresponding [4+4] photocycloaddition product (OFF state), as substantiated from both experimental and theoretical studies.
