Sequential double second-order nonlinear optical switch by an acido-triggered photochromic cyclometallated platinum(II) complex

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 7;51(37):7805-8. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01893e.

Abstract

An unprecedented DTE-based Pt(II) complex, 2(o), which stands as the first example of a sequential double nonlinear optical switch, induced first by protonation and next upon irradiation with UV light is presented.
