“…[8][9][10] Thus bpp derivatives bearing fluorescent, [11][12][13] photoactive, [14,15] redox-active, [16] conducting, [17] magnetic, [18,19] amphiphilic [20,21] and tether group substituents [13,22,23] have all been prepared, as have ditopic bpp ligands. [10,12,15,19,21,24,25] Iron complexes of these novel ligands often exhibit useful and/or multifunctional SCO switching properties. The unique availability of so many materials based on the same [Fe(bpp) 2 ] 2 + core also facilitatess tructure-function studies of SCO switching.…”
