Valence Tautomerism in D‐Block Complexes

Abstract

Abstract The need for both improved energy efficiency of information communication technologies, and increased data storage density to meet the requirements of contemporary society, has enhanced interest in the miniaturization of electronic devices. The ultimate in miniaturization is a single molecule and the possibility of utilizing individual molecules as device components has afforded the scientific field of molecular materials. So‐called “smart” materials respond to an external stimulus and such stimuli‐response can be achieved at the molecular level. Molecular materials that can be switched between forms with different electronic structures in response to an external stimulus ..
