A stimuli-responsive zinc-based chain framework constructed via metal–ligand directed assembly

Abstract

A new stable 1D photo-responsive coordination polymer is constructed via introducing a viologen side group to the metal–carboxylate framework. This structural arrangement creates an interesting dual stimuli-responsive molecular system. Coupled with the fluorescence modulation process, a photochromic reaction is induced by energy and electron transfer between the neighbouring donor and acceptor units.
