Abstract

N-arylpyridinium molecules, 4, 6-bis(4,4′-bipyridine-1-y1)-pyrimidine (1) and 3,6-bis(4,4′-bipyridine-1-y1)-pyridazine (2) and 3-pyridylviologen (3) were designed and synthesized as photoelectrochemically active ligands for coordination polymer assemblies with various ions. Their two-step reduction processes involving ion-radicals generation were observed in both electrochemical and photochemical processes. The photochemical ionradical formation in 1–3 were observed in the solid state. The magnetic behavior of Cu complex of 3 after light irradiation showed the antiferromagnetic interaction between photochemically generated ionradical and Cu spins.
