Memory devices based on novel alkyl viologen halobismuthate(iii) complexes†
Abstract
Four novel halobismuthate(III) complexes with alkyl viologen cations: (R2Viol)2[Bi2X10] (R = n-butyl, n-pentyl, X = Cl, Br) have been synthesized. Both chloride complexes revealed photochromic behavior and were successfully utilized for the fabrication of OFET-based memory devices with high switching coefficients and good write–read–erase cycling stability.
