Tetraarylethylene having two nitroxide groups: redox-switching of through-bond magnetic interaction by conformation change.
Reversible redox-switching of through-bond magnetic interaction has been achieved by conformation change of the tetraarylethylene moiety upon redox input: intramolecular magnetic interaction between two nitroxide groups is dead after oxidation, whereas it was alive before.
