Abstract:
Bottoms up! A discrete metallo-supramolecular nanoball (see picture), synthesized by using "bottom-up" methodologies, uniquely undergoes a solvent-sensitive, physically addressable electronic spin switching. The switching occurs by thermal, light, or solvent perturbation, where importantly it can be switched "on" or "off" by green or red laser irradiation, respectively.
