Abstract
A novel mononuclear bis(formazanate)zinc complex (1) based on a redox-active 1-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-5-(2-benzoyl-4-chlorophenyl)-3-phenyl formazan ligand has been synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 was prepared by reacting one equivalent of Zn(OCOCH3)·2H2O with two equivalents of the corresponding formazan derivative. X-ray crystallography was employed to ascertain the solid-state structure of compound 1, and the analysis revealed a distorted octahedral geometry for the complex where the symmetrical ligands exhibit a preference for coordinating with the zinc center in the 'open' form, generating five-membered chelate rings. Moreover, cyclic voltammetry analysis reveals that complex 1 exhibits the capacity for electrochemical reduction as well as oxidation, resulting in the formation of radical anionic (L2Zn-) and dianionic (L2Zn2-) states as well as the oxidation state of 1. Additionally, the developed solution-processable complex 1 was employed as the fundamental building material for resistive switching memory applications. The [FTO/ZnIIL2(1)]/Ag RRAM device demonstrates exceptional resistive memory switching properties, with a substantial ION/IOFF ratio (103), low operational VSET and VRESET (0.9 V and -0.75 V) voltages, excellent endurance stability (100 cycles), and decent retention time (more than 2000 seconds). The findings presented in this study underscore the importance of redox-active formazanate metal complexes for creating promising memory storage devices.

Abstract
The article highlights the cooperative impact of azoheteroarenes [abbt: 2,2'-azobis(benzothiazole), L1-L3; bmpd: (E)-1,2-bis(1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-yl) diazene, L4] and coligands [bpy: 2,2'-bipyridine; pap: 2-phenylazopyridine] in tuning radical (N-N•-) versus nonradical (N═N0) states of L on selective OsII-platforms in structurally/spectroscopically characterized monomeric [1]ClO4-[6]ClO4 and [1](ClO4)2-[2](ClO4)2/[7](ClO4)2-[8](ClO4)2, respectively. The preferred syn-configuration of L in the complexes prevented obtaining ligand bridged dimeric species. It revealed that {Os(bpy)2} facilitated the stabilization of both nonradical ([1](ClO4)2-[2](ClO4)2) and radical ([1]ClO4-[2]ClO4) states of L1/L2, while it delivered exclusively the radical form for L3 in [3]ClO4. In contrast, {Os(pap)2} generated radical states of L1-L3 in [4]ClO4-[6]ClO4, respectively, without any alteration of the redox state of OsII and azo (N═N0) function of the pap coligand. The neutral state of L4 was, however, ascertained in [7](ClO4)2 or [8](ClO4)2 irrespective of the nature of the metal fragment {Os(bpy)2} or {Os(pap)2}, respectively. Switching between radical and nonradical forms of L in the complexes as a function L and coligand could be addressed based on their relative FMO (frontier molecular orbital) energies. Multiple close redox steps of the complexes extended a competitive electron transfer scenario between the redox active components including metal/L/bpy/pap, leading to delicate electronic forms in each case.

Abstract
This work describes a new well-defined, air-stable, phosphine free palladium(II) [Pd(L)Cl] (1) catalyst. This catalyst was utilized for N-alkylation of amines and indole synthesis where H2O was found to be the by-product. A broad range of aromatic amines were alkylated using this homogeneous catalyst with a catalyst loading of 0.1 mol%. Greener aromatic and aliphatic primary alcohols were utilized and a hydrogen auto-transfer strategy via a metal-ligand cooperative approach was investigated. The precursor of the antihistamine-containing drug molecule tripelennamine was synthesized on a gram scale for large-scale applicability of the current synthetic methodology. A number of control experiments were performed to investigate the possible reaction pathway and the outcomes of these experiments indicated the azo-chromophore as a hydrogen reservoir during the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
This article addresses the impact of metal-ligand redox cooperativity on the functionalisation of coordinated ligands. It demonstrates the structure-reactivity correlation of bis(aldimine) derived bis-bidentate L (Py-CHN-(CH2)n-NCH-Py, with n = 2 (L1), 3 (L2), 4 (L3)) as a function of the conformation (syn/anti) of its alkylene linker as well as the overall structural form (cis/trans) of (acac)2RuII(μ-L)RuII(acac)2 complex moieties (1-5) possessing an electron-rich acetylacetonate (acac) co-ligand. A systematic variation of the bridging alkylene unit of L in RuII/RuII-derived 1-5 led to the following reactivity/redox events, which were validated through structural, spectroscopic, electrochemical and theoretical evaluations: (i) Cyclisation of the ethylene linked (syn conformation) bis-aldimine unit of L1 via C-C coupling yielded pyrazine bridged (acac)2RuII(μ-L1')RuII(acac)2, 1a, while the corresponding anti-form (ethylene linker) of the metal-bound L1 in 2 ((acac)2RuII(μ-L1)RuII(acac)2) led to oxygenation at the ligand backbone (bis-aldimine (L) → bis(carboxamido) (L'')) via O2 activation to generate RuIIIRuIII-derived (acac)2RuIII(μ-L1''2-)RuIII(acac)2 (2a). (ii) Consequently, propylene and butylene linked L2 and L3 bridged between two {Ru(acac)2} units in 3 and 4/5 underwent oxygenation of L to L'' to yield diruthenium(III) complexes 3a and 4a/5a, respectively. (iii) In contrast, analogous L bridged oxidised [(acac)2RuIII(μ-L)RuIII(acac)2](ClO4)2 ([2](ClO4)2-[5](ClO4)2) and [{(PPh3)2(CO)(H)RuII}2(μ-L)](ClO4)2 ([6](ClO4)2-[8](ClO4)2) involving electron poor co-ligands failed to undergo the oxygenation of L irrespective of its n value, reemphasising the effective role of redox interplay between RuII and L particularly in the presence of an electron-rich acac co-ligand in the functionalisation of the latter in 1a-5a.

Abstract
Polysulfide-based multilevel memorizers are promising as novel memorizers, in which the occurrence of Sn2- relaxation is key for their multilevel memory. However, the effects of crystal packing and the side group of organic ligands on Sn2- relaxation are still ambiguous. In this work, ionic [Zn(S6)2·Zn2(Bipy)2SO4 (1), Zn(S6)2·Zn(Pmbipy)3 (2)] and neutral [ZnS6(Ombipy) (3), ZnS6(Phen)2 (4)] Zn/polysulfide/organic complexes with different packing modes and structures of organic ligands have been synthesized and were fabricated as memory devices. In both ionic and neutral Zn complexes, the S62- relaxation will be blocked by steric hindrances due to the packing of counter-cations and hydrogen-bond restrictions. Consequently, only the binary memory performances can be seen in FTO/1/Ag, FTO/2/Ag, and FTO/4/Ag, which originate from the more condensed packing of conjugated ligands upon electrical stimulus. Interestingly, FTO/3/Ag illustrates the unique thermally triggered reversible binary-ternary switchable memory performance. In detail, after introducing a methyl group on the 6'-position of bipyridine in ZnS6(Ombipy) (3), the ring-to-chain relaxation of S62- anions at room temperature will be inhibited, but it can happen at a higher temperature of 120 °C, which has been verified by elongated S-S lengths and the strengthened C-H···S hydrogen bond upon heating. The rules drawn in this work will provide a useful guide for the design of stimulus-responsive memorizers that can be applied in special industries such as automobile, oil, and gas industries.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a mononuclear zinc complex (1) containing a redox-active bis(4-antipyrinyl) derivative of the 3-cyanoformazanate ligand. Complex 1 was readily obtained by refluxing zinc acetate with 3-cyano-1,5-(4-antipyrinyl)formazan (LH) in a methanolic solution. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of complex 1 shows that the formazanate ligands bind to the zinc center in a five-member chelate "open" form via the 1- and 4-positions of the 1,2,4,5-tetraazapentadienyl formazanate backbone leading to the formation of the mononuclear bis(formazanate) zinc complex exhibiting a distorted octahedral geometry. We also report the study of resistive-switching random access memory application of this solution-processable bis(formazanate) Zn(II) complex to facilitate the practical implementation of transition metal complex-based molecular memory devices. The complex demonstrated high conductance switching with a large ON-OFF ratio, good stability, and a long retention time. A trap-controlled space charge limited current mechanism is proposed for the observed resistive switching behavior of the device, wherein the role played by the [ZnIIL2] complex that comprises the extended redox-active conjugated ligand backbone is revealed by corroborating electrochemical studies, spectrochemical experiments, and DFT calculations. In addition to providing significant insights into the molecular design of transition metal complexes for memory applications, this study also presents the utilization of ZnIIL2 towards the realization of non-volatile resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices with inorganic/organic hybrid active layers that are highly cost-effective and sustainable. These devices exhibited multilevel switching and low current operation, both of which are desirable for advanced memory applications.

Abstract
It was first reported almost two decades ago that ligands with azo functions are capable of accepting electron(s) upon coordination to produce azo-anion radical complexes, thereby exhibiting redox non-innocence. Over the past two decades, there have been numerous reports of such complexes along with their structures and diverse characteristics. The ability of a coordinated azo function to accept one or more electron(s), thereby acting as an electron reservoir, is currently employed to carry out electron transfer catalysis since they can undergo redox transformation at mild potentials due to the presence of energetically accessible energy levels. The cooperative involvement of redox non-innocent ligand(s) containing an azo group and the coordinated metal centre can adjust and modulate the Lewis acidity of the latter through selective ligand-centred redox events, thereby manipulating the capacity of the metal centre to bind to the substrate. We have summarized the list of first row transition metal complexes of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc with redox non-innocent ligands incorporating an azo function that have been exploited as electron transfer catalysts to effectuate sustainable synthesis of a wide variety of useful chemicals. These include ketazines, pyrimidines, benzothiazole, benzoxazoles, N-acyl hydrazones, quinazoline-4(3)H-ones, C-3 alkylated indoles, N-alkylated anilines and N-alkylated heteroamines. The reaction pathways, as demonstrated by catalytic loops, reveal that the azo function of a coordinated ligand can act as an electron sink in the initial steps to bring about alcohol oxidation and thereafter, they serve as an electron pool to produce the final products either via HAT or PCET processes.

Abstract
Precise control over guest release and recapture using external stimuli is a valuable goal, potentially enabling new modes of chemical purification. Including redox moieties within the ligand cores of molecular capsules to trigger the release and uptake of guests has proved effective, but this technique is limited to certain capsules and guests. Herein, the construction of a series of novel metal-organic capsules from ditopic, tritopic, and tetratopic ligands is demonstrated, all of which contain redox-active azo groups coordinated to FeII centers. Compared to their iminopyridine-based analogs, this new class of azopyridine-based capsules possesses larger cavities, capable of encapsulating more voluminous guests. Upon reduction of the capsules, their guests are released and may then be re-encapsulated when the capsules are regenerated by oxidation. Since the redox centers are on the ligand arms, they are modular and can be attached to a variety of ligand cores to afford varying and predictable architectures. This method thus shows promise as a generalized approach for designing redox-controlled guest release and uptake systems.

Abstract
Electron-withdrawing nitro-substituents were installed onto terpyridine- and phenanthroline-based metallosurfactants with 4d6 ruthenium(II), which were deposited as Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers aiming to study the feasibility of charge transport in Au|LB|Au junctions. The nitro groups are intended to modulate the energy of the frontier molecular orbitals to near to, or match that of Fermi levels in the gold electrodes. A series of heteroleptic metallosurfactants [RuII(C18OPh-terpy)(X-terpy)](PF6)2 and [RuII(C18OPh-terpy)(X-phen)Cl]PF6 were synthesized, where C18OPh-terpy is the 4'-[4-(octadecyloxy)phenyl]-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine amphiphile common to all species, X-terpy is a terpyridine with-H (1) or-phenyl-NO2 (2) and X-phen is a phenanthroline with-H (3) or-NO2 (4) groups. These metallosurfactants were characterized by experimental and computational methods, and the presence of nitro groups affect more affordable reductions at less negative potentials, as well as slightly more positive oxidations, these changes are less pronounced in species 2 than in 4. Species 1 and 2 showed limited Pockels-Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett film formation with lower collapse pressure of 27 mN m-1. In contrast, metallosurfactants 3 and 4 showed enhanced hydrophilicity indicated by higher collapse pressures of ca. 36 mN m-1. The LB monolayers of 3 and 4 were deposited on gold electrodes to form Au|LB|Au junctions and electron transport was measured as I/V curves. The NO2-bearing species 4 showed asymmetric curves associated with directional electron transport with amplitudes up to -2.0 nA and rectification ratios from 5 to 26 between -1 to +1 V and from 3 to 14 between -3 to +3 V.

Abstract
Endohedral fullerenes with a dipolar molecule enclosed in the fullerene cage have great potential in molecular electronics, such as diodes, switches, or molecular memristors. Here, we study a series of model systems based on MX@D5h(1)-C70 (M = a metal or hydrogen, X = a halogen or a chalcogen) endohedral fullerenes to identify potential molecular memristors and to derive a general formula for rapid identification of potential memristors among analogous MX@Cn systems. To obtain sufficiently accurate results for switching barriers and encapsulation energies, we perform a benchmark of ten DFT functionals against ab initio SCS-MP2 and DLPNO-CCSD(T) methods at the complete basis set limit. The whole series is then investigated using the PBE0 functional which was found to be the most efficient vs. the ab initio methods. Nine of the 34 MX@C70 molecules studied are predicted to have suitable switching barriers to be considered as potential candidates for molecular switches and memristors. We have identified several structure-property relationships for the switching barrier and response of the systems to the electric field, in particular the dependence of the switching barrier on the available space for M-X switching and faster response of the system to the electric field with a larger dipole moment of MX and MX@C70.

Abstract
The use of crystalline metal-organic complexes with definite structures as multilevel memories can enable explicit structure-property correlations, which is significant for designing the next generation of memories. Here, four Zn-polysulfide complexes with different degrees of conjugation have been fabricated as memory devices. ZnS6(L)2-based memories (L = pyridine and 3-methylpyridine) can exhibit only bipolar binary memory performances, but ZnS6(L)-based memories (L = 2,2'-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline) illustrate non-volatile ternary memory performances with high ON2/ON1/OFF ratios (104.22/102.27/1 and 104.85/102.58/1) and ternary yields (74% and 78%). Their ON1 states stem from the packing adjustments of organic ligands upon the injection of carriers, and the ON2 states are a result of the ring-to-chain relaxation of S62- anions. The lower conjugated degrees in ZnS6(L)2 result in less compact packing; consequently, the adjacent S62- rings are too long to trigger the S62- relaxation. The deep structure-property correlation in this work provides a new strategy for implementing multilevel memory by triggering polysulfide relaxation based on the conjugated degree regulation of organic ligands.

Abstract
The development of organic memory devices, regarding factors such as structure construction, principle exploration, and material design, has become a powerful supplement to traditional silicon-based information storage. The in-situ growth of materials on substrate surfaces can achieve closer bonding between materials and electrodes. Bio-inspired by mussel chemistry, polydopamine (PDA) was self-assembled on a flexible substrate as a connecting layer, and 2-bromoiso-butyryl bromide (BiBB) was utilized as an initiator for the polymerization of an iridium complex via surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). A device with the structure of Al/PDA-PPy3Ir/ITO was constructed after the deposition of aluminum. The device exhibited a nonvolatile rewritable memory characteristic with a turn-on voltage of -1.0 V and an ON/OFF current ratio of 6.3 × 103. In addition, the memory performance of the Al/PDA-PPy3Ir/ITO device remained stable at bending states due to the intrinsic flexibility of the active layer, which can be expanded into the establishment of flexible memory devices. Spectroscopy and electrochemical characterization suggested that the resistive memory properties of the device stemmed from charge transfer between PDA and iridium polymer in the active layer (PDA-PPy3Ir) under an applied voltage.

Abstract
This article demonstrates the stabilization of ground- and redox-induced metal-to-ligand charge transfer excited states on coordination of azo-coupled bmpd(L4) [bmpd = (E)-1,2-bis(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)diazene; L4 = -N═N-] to the electron-rich {Ru(acac)2} (acac = acetylacetonate) unit in mononuclear RuII(acac)2(L4) (1) and diastereomeric dinuclear (acac)2Ru2.5(μ-L4•-)Ru2.5(acac)2 [rac, ΔΔ/ΛΛ (2a)/meso, ΔΛ (2b)] complexes, respectively. It also develops further one-step intramolecular electron transfer induced L4•- bridged isovalent higher analogue [(acac)2RuIII(μ-L4•-)RuIII(acac)2]ClO4 in diastereomeric forms, rac-[2a]ClO4/meso-[2b]ClO4. On the contrary, under identical reaction conditions electronically and sterically permuted bimpd [L5, (E)-1,2-bis(4-iodo-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)diazene)] delivered mononuclear RuII(acac)2(L5) (3) as an exclusive product. Further, the generation of unprecedented heterotrinuclear complex [(acac)2RuII(μ-L4)AgI(μ-L4)RuII(acac)2]ClO4 ([4]ClO4) involving unreduced L4 via the reaction of 1 and AgClO4 revealed the absence of any inner-sphere electron transfer (IET) as in precursor 1, which in turn reaffirmed an IET (at the interface of electron-rich Ru(acac)2 and acceptor L4) mediated stabilization of 2. Structural authentication of the complexes with special reference to the tunable azo distance (N═N, N-N•-, N-N2-) of L and their spectro-electrochemical events in accessible redox states including the reversible electron reservoir feature of 2 → 2+/2+ → 2 were evaluated in conjunction with density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The varying extent of IET as a function of heteroaromatics appended to the azo group of L (L1 = abpy = 2,2'-azobipyridine, L2 = abbt = 2,2'-azobis(benzothiazole), L3 = abim = azobis(1-methylbenzimidazole), L4 and L5, Schemes 1 & 2) in the Ru(acac)2-derived respective molecular setup has been addressed.

Abstract
The redox non-innocent behavior of the diaryl-azo-oxime ligand LNOH1 has been accentuated via the synthesis of metastable anion radical complexes of type trans-[Ir(LNO˙-)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2] 2 (CO is trans to azo group of the ligand) by the oxidative coordination reaction of 1 with Vaska's complex. The stereochemical role of co-ligands vis-à-vis the interplay of π-bonding has been found to be decisive in controlling the aptitude of the coordinated redox non-innocent ligand to accept or reject an electron. This has been clarified via the isolation of quite a few complexes as well as the failure to synthesize some others. The oxidized analogues of type trans-[Ir(LNO-)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2]+2+ (CO and azo group of the ligand are trans) as well as its cis isomer cis-[Ir(LNO-)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2]+3+ (CO and azo group of the ligand are cis) have been structurally characterized but the radical anion congener of the latter could not be synthesized. Furthermore, the closed shell complexes [Ir(LNO-)Cl2(PPh3)2] 4 and [Ir(LNO-)2Cl(PPh3)] 5 have been well characterized by diffraction as well as spectral techniques but their corresponding azo anion radical complexes could not be isolated and this is attributed to the trans influence of ancillary ligands. The anion radical complexes trans-[Ir(LNO˙-)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2] 2 may be rapidly transformed to the metallocarboxylic acids trans-[Ir(LNO-)Cl(CO2H)(PPh3)2] 6via a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process, thereby demonstrating the role of odd electron over the coordinated ligand framework to trigger metal-mediated carbonyl to carboxylic acid functionalization. Complexes 6 are further stabilized via intramolecular -CO2H⋯ON- (carboxylic acid⋯oximato) H-bonding. The optoelectronic properties as well as the origin of transitions in the complexes were analyzed by TD-DFT and theoretical analysis, which further disclose that the odd electron in trans-[Ir(LNO˙-)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2] 2 is primarily azo-oxime centric with very low contribution from the iridium center.

Abstract
With the upcoming trend of Big Data era, some new types of memory technologies have emerged as substitutes for the traditional Si-based semiconductor memory devices, which are encountering severe scaling down technical obstacles. In particular, the resistance random access memory (RRAM) and magnetic random access memory (MRAM) hold great promise for the in-memory computing, which are regarded as the optimal strategy and pathway to solve the von Neumann bottleneck by high-throughput in situ data processing. As far as the active materials in RRAM and MRAM are concerned, organic semiconducting materials have shown increasing application perspectives in memory devices due to their rich structural diversity and solution processability. With the introduction of metal elements into the backbone of molecules, some new properties and phenomena will emerge accordingly. Consequently, the RRAM and MRAM devices based on metal-containing organic compounds (including the small molecular metal complexes, metallopolymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic-inorganic-hybrid perovskites (OIHPs)) have been widely explored and attracted intense attention. In this review, we highlight the fundamentals of RRAM and MRAM, as well as the research progress of the applications of metal-containing organic compounds in both RRAM and MRAM. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future directions for the research of organic RRAM and MRAM.

Abstract
Catalysis offers a straightforward route to prepare various value-added molecules starting from readily available raw materials. The catalytic reactions mostly involve multi-electron transformations. Hence, compared to the inexpensive and readily available 3d-metals, the 4d and 5d-transition metals get an extra advantage for performing multi-electron catalytic reactions as the heavier transition metals prefer two-electron redox events. However, for sustainable development, these expensive and scarce heavy metal-based catalysts need to be replaced by inexpensive, environmentally benign, and economically affordable 3d-metal catalysts. In this regard, a metal-ligand cooperative approach involving transition metal complexes of redox noninnocent ligands offers an attractive alternative. The synergistic participation of redox-active ligands during electron transfer events allows multi-electron transformations using 3d-metal catalysts and allows interesting chemical transformations using 4d and 5d-metals as well. Herein we summarize an up-to-date literature report on the metal-ligand cooperative approaches using transition metal complexes of redox noninnocent ligands as catalysts for a few selected types of catalytic reactions.

Abstract
The paper deals with the electronic impact of ancillary ligands on the varying redox features of azobis(benzothiazole) (abbt) in the newly introduced mononuclear ruthenium complexes [Ru(pap)2(abbt)]n (1n) and [Ru(bpy)2(abbt)]n (2n), where pap = 2-phenylazopyridine and bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine. In this regard, the complexes [RuII(pap)2(abbt•-)]ClO4 ([1]ClO4), [RuII(pap)2(abbt0)](ClO4)2 ([1](ClO4)2), [RuII(bpy)2(abbt0)](ClO4)2 ([2](ClO4)2), and [RuII(bpy)2(abbt•-)]ClO4 ([2]ClO4) were structurally and spectroscopically characterized. Unambiguous assignments of the aforestated radical and nonradical forms of abbt in 1+/2+ and 12+/22+, respectively, were made primarily based on their redox-sensitive azo (N═N) bond distances as well as by their characteristic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)/NMR signatures. Although the radical form of abbt•- was isolated as an exclusive product in the case of strongly π-acidic pap-derived 1+, the corresponding moderately π-acidic bpy ancillary ligand primarily delivered an oxidized form of abbt0 in 22+, along with the radical form in 2+ as a minor (<10%) component. The oxidized abbt0-derived [1](ClO4)2 was, however, obtained via the chemical oxidation of [1]ClO4. Both 1+ and 22+ displayed multiple closed by reversible redox processes (one oxidation O1 and four successive reductions R1-R4) within the potential window of ±2.0 V versus saturated calomel electrode. The involvement of metal-, ligand-, or metal/ligand-based frontier molecular orbitals along the redox chain was assigned based on the combined experimental (structure, EPR, and spectroelectrochemisry) and theoretical [density functional theory (DFT): molecular orbitals, Mulliken spin densities/time-dependent DFT] investigations. It revealed primarily ligand (abbt/pap or bpy)-based redox activities, keeping the metal ion as a simple spectator. Moreover, frontier molecular orbital analysis corroborated the initial isolation of the radical and nonradical species for the pap-derived 1+ and bpy-derived 22+ as well as facile reduction of pap and abbt in 1+ and 2+, respectively.

Abstract
We describe the structural and magnetic properties of a tetranuclear [2 × 2] Co4 grid complex containing a ditopic arylazo ligand. At low temperatures and in solution the complex is comprised of Co3+ and singly reduced trianion-radical ligands. In the solid state we demonstrate the presence of valence tautomerization via variable temperature magnetic susceptibility experiments and powder-pattern EPR spectroscopy. Valence tautomerism in polynuclear complexes is very rare and to our knowledge is unprecedented in [2 × 2] grid complexes.

Abstract
Molecules with bi-stable electronic transport behaviour have been in upfront research topics of the molecular semiconductor devices in the past few decades due to the use of such materials in resistive data storage devices. Transition metal complexes (TMC) are expected to be potential candidates in regard to the tunable and manifold redox behaviour expecting multiple bulk transport states. Finding alternate mechanisms in such devices with TMC as the active layer materials would revoke the multifaceted approach to the functional gain. We have succeeded in demonstrating write once-read many (WORM) type of resistive memory device using a homoleptic Cobalt(II) (Co(II)) complex with large on/off current ratio ensuring the easy readout process at lower voltage. The advantage of this device was the turn on voltage was found to be the low (<2.7 V) operational voltage and the success ratio of the devices were more than 83%. The durability of the stored data was found to be more than 35,000 seconds which ensures the stability of the bistable state in the fabricated devices. Such ambient stable, solution processable devices are important for the large-scale printable devices. The manuscript describes the preparation, optical and electrochemical characterisation of the metal complex used along with a detailed mechanistic investigations and electrical characterisation of memory device obtained from a stable cobalt complex.

Abstract
One common challenge highlighted in almost every review article on organic resistive memory is the lack of areal switching uniformity. This, in fact, is a puzzle because a molecular switching mechanism should ideally be isotropic and produce homogeneous current switching free from electroforming. Such a demonstration, however, remains elusive to date. The reports attempting to characterize a nanoscopic picture of switching in molecular films show random current spikes, just opposite to the expectation. Here, this longstanding conundrum is resolved by demonstrating 100% spatially homogeneous current switching (driven by molecular redox) in memristors based on Ru-complexes of azo-aromatic ligands. Through a concurrent nanoscopic spatial mapping using conductive atomic force microscopy and in operando tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (both with resolution <7 nm), it is shown that molecular switching in the films is uniform from hundreds of micrometers down to the nanoscale and that conductance value exactly correlates with spectroscopically determined molecular redox states. This provides a deterministic molecular route to obtain spatially homogeneous, forming-free switching that can conceivably overcome the chronic problems of robustness, consistency, reproducibility, and scalability in organic memristors.

Abstract
Herein we report the synthesis, characterization and catalytic application of three new cobalt(ii)-complexes of redox noninnocent arylazo ligands, 2-(phenylazo)-1,10-phenanthroline (L1a), 2-(4-chlorophenylazo)-1,10-phenanthroline (L1b) and 2,9-bis(phenyldiazo)-1,10-phenanthroline (L2) respectively. The reaction of L1a with CoIICl2·6H2O produced a μ-dichloro bridged binuclear cobalt(ii)-complex [Co(L1a)2Cl2] (1a) while the same reaction when carried out with 2-(4-chlorophenyl)azo-1,10-phenanthroline (L1b) and 2,9-bis(phenyldiazo)-1,10-phenanthroline (L2) ligands produced two new mononuclear five-coordinate cobalt(ii)-complexes 1b and 2 respectively. In complex 1a and 1b, the ligands L1a and L1b are coordinated to the cobalt(ii)-center in a tridentate mode utilizing all of its nitrogen donor sites while in complex 2 one of the azo-donor sites of the ligand L2 remain pendant. All these complexes were characterized using available spectroscopic techniques and DFT studies. We further explored the potential of these complexes as catalysts for the synthesis of pharmaceutically important organic compounds via the functionalization of alcohols. A variety of substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were synthesized under aerobic conditions via the coupling of alcohols and 2-aminobenzamide using 1b as the catalyst. Mechanistic investigations revealed that both cobalt and the arylazo scaffold act synergistically during catalysis.

Abstract
Electronic symmetry breaking by charge disproportionation results in multifaceted changes in the electronic, magnetic and optical properties of a material, triggering ferroelectricity, metal/insulator transition and colossal magnetoresistance. Yet, charge disproportionation lacks technological relevance because it occurs only under specific physical conditions of high or low temperature or high pressure. Here we demonstrate a voltage-triggered charge disproportionation in thin molecular films of a metal-organic complex occurring in ambient conditions. This provides a technologically relevant molecular route for simultaneous realization of a ternary memristor and a binary memcapacitor, scalable down to a device area of 60 nm2. Supported by mathematical modelling, our results establish that multiple memristive states can be functionally non-volatile, yet discrete-a combination perceived as theoretically prohibited. Our device could be used as a binary or ternary memristor, a binary memcapacitor or both concomitantly, and unlike the existing 'continuous state' memristors, its discrete states are optimal for high-density, ultra-low-energy digital computing.

Abstract
Azo radical anion 1˙- and dianion 12- have been isolated by one- and two-electron reduction of the azo compound 1 (ArNNAr, Ar = 4-CN-2,6-iPr2-C6H2) with alkali metals, respectively. The reduced species have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, EPR, UV and FT-IR spectroscopy, as well as SQUID measurements. The filling of one and two electrons in the π* orbital of the N-N double bond of 1 leads to a half-double N-N bond in 1˙- and a single N-N bond in 12-. The uncoordinated nature of these reduced species enables them to activate CO2. The exposure of 1˙- solution to CO2 led to the formation of oxalate anion C2O42-, while that of 12- solution to CO2 afforded the hydrazine dicarboxylate dianion [1-2CO2]2-, which reversibly dissociated back to 1 and CO2 upon oxidation.

Abstract
Electrically bistable devices play an important role in the next generation of information materials. Plasmonic noble metal nanoparticles (Au and Ag NPs) with diameters <6 nm were embedded into 3-D Cd-based metal-organic framework (MOF) matrixes via the photoreduction method to generate Au (Ag) NPs@MOF composites. Electrical bistability measurements on the sandwiched ITO/NPs@MOF/silver devices indicate that two switchable conductivity states with nonvolatile memory behaviors can be observed. The ITO/Au NP@2/Ag device with neutral matrix possesses the highest ON/OFF current ratio of 104, which can be attributed to its higher electron tunneling efficiency because of the better dispersity of Au NPs in the MOF matrix. A mechanism regarding the electric-field-induced charge-transfer process assisted by conformational change in the active layer was proposed.

Abstract
Employing multiscale in silico modeling, we propose switching molecular diodes on the basis of endohedral fullerenes (fullerene switching diode, FSD), encapsulated with polar molecules of general type MX (M: metal, X: nonmetal) to be used for data storage and processing. Here, we demonstrate for MX@C70 systems that the relative orientation of enclosed MX with respect to a set of electrodes connected to the system can be controlled by application of oriented external electric field(s). We suggest systems with two- and four-terminal electrodes, in which the source and drain electrodes help the current to pass through the device and help the switching between the conductive states of FSD via applied voltage. The gate electrodes then assist the switching by effectively lowering the energy barrier between local minima via stabilizing the transition state of switching process if the applied voltage between the source and drain is insufficient to switch the MX inside the fullerene. Using nonequilibrium Green's function combined with density functional theory (DFT-NEGF) computations, we further show that conductivity of the studied MX@C70 systems depends on the relative orientation of MX inside the cage with respect to the electrodes. Therefore, the orientation of the MX inside C70 can be both enforced ("written") and retrieved ("read") by applied voltage. The studied systems thus behave like voltage-sensitive switching molecular diodes, which is reminiscent of a molecular memristor.

Abstract
Protonation of the Co(I) phenylazopyridine (azpy) complex [CpCo(azpy)] 2 occurs at the azo nitrogen of the 2-phenylazopyridine ligand to generate the cationic Co(I) complex [CpCo(azpyH)]+ 3 with no change in oxidation state at Co. The N-H bond of 3 exhibits diverse hydrogen transfer reactivity, as studies with a variety of organic acceptors demonstrate that 3 can act as a proton, hydrogen atom, and hydride donor. The thermodynamics of all three cleavage modes for the N-H bond (i.e., proton, hydride, and hydrogen atom) were examined both experimentally and computationally. The N-H bond of 3 exhibits a p Ka of 12.1, a hydricity of Δ G°H- = 89 kcal/mol, and a bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) of Δ G°H• = 68 kcal/mol in CD3CN. Hydride transfer from 3 to the trityl cation (Δ G°H- = 99 kcal/mol) is exergonic but takes several hours to reach completion, indicating that 3 is a relatively poor hydride donor, both kinetically and thermodynamically. Hydrogen atom transfer from 3 to 2,6-di- tert-butyl-4-(4'-nitrophenyl)phenoxyl radical (tBu2NPArO·, Δ G°H• = 77.8 kca/mol) occurs rapidly, illustrating the competence of 3 as a hydrogen atom donor.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of the electronically different ancillary ligands on the overall properties of the RuIIL moiety (L = 2,6-bis(phenylazo)pyridine) in heteroleptic complexes of general formula [RuLQCl]0/+ was investigated. Four different ancillary ligands (Q) with different electronic effects were used to prepare the heteroleptic compounds from the precursor complex, [RuL(CH3CN)Cl2] (1); Q = pcp: 2-(4-chloro-phenylazo)pyridine (strong π-acceptor), [2]+; bpy: 2,2'-bipyridyl (moderate π-acceptor), [3]+; acac-: acetylacetonate (strong σ-donor), 4; and DTBCat2-: 3,5-di- tert-butyl catecholate (strong π-donor), 5. The complexes [2]+, [3]+, 4, and 5 were fully characterized and structurally identified. The electronic structures of these complexes along with their redox partners were elucidated by using a host of physical measurements: nuclear magnetic resonance, cyclic voltammetry, electronic paramagnetic resonance, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and density functional theory. The studies revealed significant effects of the coligands on azo bond lengths of the RuL moiety and their redox behavior. Aerobic alcohol oxidation reactions using these Ru complexes as catalysts were scrutinized. It was found that the catalytic efficiency is primarily controlled by the electronic effect of the coligand. Accordingly, the complex [2]+ (containing a strong π-acceptor coligand, pcp) brings about oxidation efficiently, producing 86% of benzaldehyde. In comparison, however, the complexes 4 and 5 (containing electron donating coligand) furnished only 15-20% of benzaldehyde under identical reaction conditions. Investigations of the reaction mechanism suggest that an unstable Ru-H species is formed, which is transformed to a Ru-hydrazo intermediate by H-walking as reported by Hall et al. ( J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2015, 137, 12330). Aerial O2 regenerates the catalyst via oxidation of the hydrazo intermediate.

Abstract
Reductive elimination (RE) is a critical step in many catalytic processes. The reductive elimination of unsaturated groups (aryl, vinyl and ethynyl) from Pd(II) species is considerably faster than RE of saturated alkyl groups. Pd(II) dimethyl complexes ligated by chelating diimine ligands are stable toward RE unless subjected to a thermal or redox stimulus. Herein, we report the spontaneous RE of ethane from (azpy)PdMe2 complexes and the unique role of the redox-active azopyridine (azpy) ligands in facilitating this reaction. The (azpy)PdMe2 complexes are air- and moisture-stable in the solid form, but they readily produce ethane upon dissolution in polar solvents at temperatures from 10 °C to room temperature without the need for an external oxidant or elevated temperatures. Experimental and computational studies indicate that a bimolecular methyl transfer precedes the reductive elimination step, where both steps are facilitated by the redox-active azopyridine ligand.

Abstract
Electroprotic storage materials, though invaluable in energy-related research, are scanty among non-natural compounds. Herein, we report a zinc(II) complex of the ligand 2,6-bis(phenylazo)pyridine (L), which acts as a multiple electron and proton reservoir during catalytic dehydrogenation of alcohols to aldehydes/ketones. The redox-inactive metal ion Zn(II) serves as an oxophilic Lewis acid, while the ligand behaves as efficient storage of electron and proton. Synthesis, X-ray structure, and spectral characterizations of the catalyst, ZnLCl2 (1a) along with the two hydrogenated complexes of 1a, ZnH2LCl2 (1b), and ZnH4LCl2 (1c) are reported. It has been argued that the reversible azo-hydrazo redox couple of 1a controls aerobic dehydrogenation of alcohols. Hydrogenated complexes are hyper-reactive and quantitatively reduce O2 and para-benzoquinone to H2O2 and para-hydroquinone, respectively. Plausible mechanistic pathways for alcohol oxidation are discussed based on controlled experiments, isotope labeling, and spectral analysis of intermediates.
