Phosphate bond cleavage is essential to physiological activity, antibacterial or antitumor as well the elimination of chemical warfare agents. In this work, three transition metal binuclear complexes (Cu2LCl4, Co2LCl4, Zn2LCl4)...
A new class of luminescent cyclometalated Ir(iii) complexes with readily tunable mechanochromic properties derived from the mechanically induced trans-to-cis isomerization have been developed.
