Outline of Final Research Achievements

Development of molecular units, which shows multistable electronic states controlled by electrochemical and magnetic field, is very important for future molecular electronics. In this work, [3x3] type grid molecules including copper and iron ions were synthesized and their magnetic and electrochemical properties were investigated. These complexes showed five-step reversible redox processes. Oxdized and reduced spieces were isolated and their optical and magnetic properties were studied.
