Photoresponsive molecular wires of FeII triazole complexes in organic media and light-induced morphological transformations.
A lipophilic linear FeII 1,2,4-triazole complex containing azobenzene chromophores forms molecular wires in organic solvents; photoisomerization of azobenzene units induced morphological changes that lead to reversible, macroscopic gel-to-sol transition phenomena.
