Abstract
Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCC) have come a long way from being tools of molecular architecture to advanced applications including sensing, imaging, energy storage, and conversion materials. This chapter deals with a new type of functionality known as photochromism which is recently been incorporated into SCC architectures. Several research groups are engaged in developing new SCCs using various types of functional groups such as spiropyran, donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts, azobenzenes, etc. Herein several such new reports are discussed and their applications in various aspects such as solid emissive materials, light harvester, energy transport, etc. are discussed.
