Temperature is often not considered as a precision stimulus for artificial chem. systems in contrast to the host-guest interactions related to many natural processes. Similarly, mimicking multi-state volatile memory operations using a single mol. system with temperature as a precision stimulus is highly laborious. A mixture of Fe(II) chloride and bipyridine can be used as a reversible color-to-colorless thermochromic switch and logic operators. The generality of the approach was illustrated using CoII and NiII salts that resulted in color-to-color transitions. DMSO gels of these systems exhibited reversible opaque-transparency switching. More importantly, optically readable multi-state volatile memory with temperature as a precision input was demonstrated. The stored data is volatile and is lost instantaneously upon withdrawal or change of temperature Simultaneous read-out at multiple wavelengths results in single-input/multi-output sequential logic operations such as data accumulators (counters) leading to volatile memory states. The present system provides access to thermoresponsive materials wherein temperature can be used as a precision stimulus. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6Formula: C12H12N2)
4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine(cas: 1134-35-6) is used in the synthesis of a series of o-phenanthroline-substituted ruthenium(II) complexes.Formula: C12H12N2 Furthermore, 4,4′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is used as a chemical Intermediate. It can be used for the determination of ferrous and cyanide compounds.
