Abstract

A new multifunctional coordination framework, [Mn(NPy₃)Cl·3MeOH·DMF]_n, containing the redox-active tris(4-(pyridine-4-yl)phenyl)amine ligand (NPy₃) was synthesised and characterised. The redox properties of the framework were investigated, and the oxidised state of the framework was generated chemically and spectroelectrochemically. This material exhibits multifunctionality by virtue of its ability to switch the fluorescence ‘on’ and ‘off’ with the redox state.
