Two new coordination assemblies were prepared by combining the open and close forms of 1,2-bis(5-carboxyl-2-methyl-3-thienyl)perfluorocyclopentene (H2dae) with [Mn2(saltmen)2(H2O)2](PF6)2, where H2saltmen = 2,2'-((1 E,1' E)-((2,3-dimethylbutane-2,3-diyl)bis(azaneylylidene)) bis(methaneylylidene))diphenol. From X-ray diffraction analyses, the complexes had the following formula: [Mn2(saltmen)2(dae-open)] (1open) and [Mn(saltmen)(dae-close)]·H2O·Et3N (1close). Both complexes crystallized in the C2/ c monoclinic space group. In 1open, dae-o2- behaves as a bidentate ligand attached to the outer Mn-saltmen monomer via the oxygen atom of carboxylato groups, whereas in 1close, the dae-c2- ligand behaves as a monodentate ligand attached to the external Mn-saltmen dimer by only one carboxylato group of the photochromic ligand. The complexes showed reversible photochromic responses to UV/vis light and showed single-molecule magnet-like behavior. The relaxation times and energy barriers of the metal complexes are clearly affected by UV/vis irradiation.
