Engineering Solid‐State Molecular Switches: N‐Salicylidene N‐Heterocycle Derivatives (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 4/2010)

Abstract

The cover picture shows a panel of functional N‐salicylidene derivatives that can be rationally designed and assembled by crystal engineering. The amplitude of their thermochromism and/or photochromism can be finely tuned as shown by the central needle. This study is supported by a multidisciplinary approach (syntheses, physical and structural studies, calculations). Details are discussed in the article by Y. Garcia et al. on p. 621 ff.
