A calixarene-based copper-centered redox switch as a data storage prototype

Ulrich Darbost, Vanessa Penin, Erwann Jeanneau, Caroline Félix, Francis Vocanson, Christophe Bucher, Guy Royal and Isabelle Bonnamour


A new copper redox molecular switch based on a calixarene possessing both imidazole- and quinoline-like fragments displays, through an exchange of ligands triggered by an electrochemical input, unexpected long-lasting stability of both the redox forms, as well as fast reversible cycling.
