Examples of molecular switching in inorganic solids, due to temperature, light, pressure, and magnetic field

We describe various molecular switching processes occurring in several types of inorganic solids: spin cross-over (SC) compounds, photomagnetic Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), and valence-tautomeric system. Their thermo-, photo-, piezo-, and magneto-chromic properties are illustrated by recent example...

Description
Summary:We describe various molecular switching processes occurring in several types of inorganic solids: spin cross-over (SC) compounds, photomagnetic Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), and valence-tautomeric system. Their thermo-, photo-, piezo-, and magneto-chromic properties are illustrated by recent examples. A common description of their static properties by a two-level model is given.
