The journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition has published a paper written by researchers from the JU Faculty of Chemistry in collaboration with the University of Tokio, University of Kiel, and JU Marian Smoluchowski Institute of Physics.
The article Room-Temperature Bistability in a Ni–Fe Chain: Electron Transfer Controlled by Temperature, Pressure, Light, and Humidity describes the researchers' work on molecular magnetic materials based on CN‐bridged {NH4[Ni(cyclam)][Fe(CN)6]⋅5 H2O}n chains. These materials are highly reactive to various external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, light and humidity. The results of this research may be applied in the design of multifunctional molecular switches, indicators, converters and information storages.
