title: Mechanical switching of magnetic interaction by tweezers-type complex.
abstract: A control of the interaction between two spin centers was achieved by using a mechanical motion in a terpy(Cu-salphen)2 complex. Upon coordination a conformation change and switching from a paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetically coupled system was observed by EPR and SQUID measurements.
