A fast-response photochromic host–guest coordination polymer with a close-packed stacking structure

Abstract

A photochromic phenyl-substituted viologen based derivative that is embedded in a layered zinc–carboxylate framework is shown to have a fast photoswitching behavior. A favorable geometry for intermolecular electron transfer is established by the sandwich-type π–π stacking structure between the photoactive host and guest components.
