Photoswitching of magnetic properties by using diarylethene photochromic spin coupler
We have designed and synthesized 1,2-bis[6-(1-oxyl-3-oxide-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolin-2-yl)-2-methylbenzo[b]-thiophen-3-yl]hexafluorocyclopentene which shows photo-switching of intramolecular magnetic interaction by incorporating two nitronyl nitroxide into diarylethene photochromic spin coupler.
