Dual-radical observation in a photoswitchable coordination polymer with synergy effect of semi-conductivity

https://phys.org/news/2023-05-dual-radical-photoswitchable-polymer-synergy-effect.html

"photoisomerizable ligand synthesize 2 VT coordination polymers displaying VT and photoconversion behavior... Arrhenius analysis determined the origin of the semiconductive behavior before 330 K, while DFT calculations helped illustrate the mechanism of the unusual change in electrical conductivity during the VT transition process... dual-radical-based molecular anisotropy and charge-transfer-induced conductive anisotropy in photoswitchable coordination polymer"
