title: Incorporating optical bistability into a magnetically bistable system: a photochromic redox isomeric complex.
abstract: A photochromic cobalt-bis(dioxolene)spirooxazine metal complex has been synthesized which exhibits both photochromic and redox-active behavior, providing a potentially powerful approach to the development of optically induced changes in redox, magnetic, or optical properties of a metal center.
