Description
Summary:The 3-nitro-2-(3‘-nitro-2‘-ethynylpyridine)-5-thiopyridine molecule shows charge-induced conformational switching and a rectifying behavior with a charge-induced controllable switching. This device can be used as a memory operated with an external field interacting with one of the rings local dipole. Alternatively, the molecule can be used as a nano-actuator controlling the rotation of the ring by charging the molecule with a bias voltage.
