Article Abstract
Four Cd(II)/diene coordination polymers (CPs) with similar 1D chain motifs exhibit different photosalient (PS) behaviours in response to UV light. The [2+2] photoreaction between the CC groups within these CPs results in diverse PS behaviours of their crystals with different CC pair arrangements. The interesting PS behaviours of these CPs can be applied in design and fabrication of advanced photoactuating materials.

The ionic structure of hybrid metal halides (HMHs) is conducive to the integration of the photoactivity of organic components and mechanical properties of inorganic components. Therefore, HMHs can function as a suitable platform to advance photomechanical performance due to their great structural designability and wide compositional diversity. Herein, a notable photosalient effect was observed in 0D ionic (LH)InCl (1, L = 4-styrylpyridine).

In the rapidly evolving field of molecular design, donor-acceptor complexes have garnered significant attention due to their unique optical, electronic, and photoreactive properties. This study explores the synthesis of donor-acceptor molecular complexes using electron-deficient tetrafluoroterephthalate and four electron-rich 4-vinylpyridine derivatives. Due to the similar chemical structures of 4-vinylpyridine derivatives (2tpy, 3tpy, 4spy, and 3F-4spy), three of the four complexes exhibit isostructural packing.

This work describes the photoreactivity and photosalient (PS) behavior of five new isotypical Cd(II) coordination complexes [Cd(bz)(4-nvp)] (1), [Cd(4-clbz)(4-nvp)] (2) and (3), and [Cd(4-brbz)(4-nvp)] (4) and (5) [Hbz = benzoic acid, H4-clbz = 4-chlorobenzoic acid, and H4-brbz = 4-bromobenzoic acid]. Complexes 2 and 3 are 4-clbz based polymorphs, while 4 and 5 are 4-brbz based polymorphs. Interestingly, complexes 1, 2 and 4 form head-to-head (HH) dimers, while 3 and 5 form head-to-tail (HT) dimers through photodimerization.

Three structurally related cadmium coordination polymers CP1-CP3 {[Cd(Pebpeb)(L)] (CP1), [Cd(Pebpeb)(L)] (CP2) and [Cd(Pebpeb)(L)]·HL (CP3)} were constructed from the photoactive alkene ligand Pebpeb (Pebpeb = 4,4'-((1,1')-(5-(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)-1,3-phenylene)bis(ethene-2,1-diyl))dipyridine; HL = 3-chlorobenzoic acid; HL = 3-nitrobenzoic acid; HL = 3-isopropyl benzoic acid) and Cd(II) ions in the presence of different auxiliary carboxylic acids. Different conformations of the functional olefinic ligand Pebpeb were observed in CP1-CP3 despite their similar 1D chain motif. [2 + 2] Solid-state photodimerization occurred when crystals of CP1-CP3 were irradiated with UV light (365 nm) and each displayed different photosalient (PS) responses attributed to the different bulkiness of the auxiliary carboxylic acids employed.

Article Synopsis
- - Three different photoactive coordination polymers (CPs) with similar structures were studied for their unique responses to UV light and mechanical motion, driven by a solid-state reaction.
- - The mechanical movement in these materials was influenced by the specific arrangement of their photoactive components, leading to variations in their photosalient behaviors.
- - A practical application was developed by combining one of these coordination polymers with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to create a simple photoactuating device that can repeat its motion multiple times through heating and exposure to light.
