Abstract
The substituent effect prevalent in organic compounds has been applied to adjusting the photochromism of viologen-bearing coordination polymers, which enable the isoreticular compounds, {[Cd(Bpybc)0.5(mip)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (Cd-mip) and {[Cd(Bpybc)0.5(nip)(H2O)]·H2O}n (Cd-nip), to display different photoresponse behaviors owing to the contribution from the electron-donating/withdrawing group on the auxiliary ligand. The present work demonstrates a practical way to regulate photochromism of target coordination polymer.
