Abstract: | Organic photochromic molecules are important for the design of photoresponsive functional materials, as switches and memories. Over the past 10 years, research efforts have been directed towards the incorporation of photoresponsive molecules into metal systems, in order either to modulate the photochromic properties, or to photoregulate the redox, optical and magnetic properties of the organometallic moieties. This review article focuses on some of the recent work reported within the last few years in the area of organometallic and coordination complexes containing photochromic ligands for the photoregulation of optical and nonlinear optical properties. The first part is related to photochromic 1,2-diarylethene (DAE)-containing metal complexes, examples of mono- and multi-DAE metal-based will be discussed. The second part deals with metal complexes incorporating spiropyran and spirooxazine derivatives. |
