Abstract
N-Salicylideneaminopyridine (SAP) is a well-known organic chromic compound that shows a reversible colour change upon UV light irradiation (photochromism) and upon cooling (thermochromism). Herein, we report novel multi-chromic metal complexes containing SAP derivatives as ligands, viz. [Ni(NCS)2(3,5-t-Bu-SAP)4] (Ni1) and [Co(NCS)2(3,5-t-Bu-SAP)4] (Co1). The Ni1 crystals exhibited both photo- and thermochromism with new colour variations, which were due to the light absorption of the Ni(II) ions and chromic properties of the SAP ligands. The Co1 crystal also exhibited photo- and thermochromism originating from the SAP ligands. Furthermore, the Co1 crystal exhibited mechanochromism induced by grinding with a mortar, which was considered to be attributable to the change of the Co1 coordination structure. Such a triple-chromic material is rare and very fascinating for the applications of multiple sensors, memory devices, and functional inks.
n -水杨柳二胺吡啶(SAP)是一种众所周知的有机铬化合物,在紫外线照射(光致变色)和冷却(热致变色)时表现出可逆的颜色变化。本文报道了以SAP衍生物为配体的新型多色金属配合物,即[Ni(NCS)2(3,5-t- bu -SAP)4] (Ni1)和[Co(NCS)2(3,5-t- bu -SAP)4] (Co1)。由于Ni(II)离子的光吸收和SAP配体的变色特性,Ni1晶体表现出光致变色和热致变色的新颜色变化。Co1晶体也表现出源于SAP配体的光致变色和热致变色。此外,Co1晶体在砂浆研磨过程中表现出机械变色,这可能是由于Co1配位几何变形所致。这种三色材料非常罕见,对多种传感器、存储设备和功能油墨的应用非常有吸引力。
