“…[19,20] To date, OMDs based on transitionmetal complexes are limited to severalt ypes of transitionmetal complex systems containing nitrogen-donor ligands, for example, silver(I)-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), [21] cobalt(II)-L C , [22] bis(2,2'-bipyridyl)(triazolopyridyl)ruthenium(II)c omplexes, [23] lanthanide (Sm 3 + ,E u 3 + ,Gd 3 + )c omplexes, [24] and iridium(III)c omplexes. [25] Research into memory devicesb ased on alkynylgold(III) materials has just begun;h owever,m ost reported devices are only of the writeo nce read many times (WORM) type. [26,27] Conversion of the performance of these devices from WORM-type into flash-type remains challenging.…”
