Abstract

(L2)]} (2) (L1 = 5-pyridin-4-ylthiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, L2 = 1-(5-pyridin-4-ylthiophen-2-yl)ethanone), accompanied by thermal hysteresis. Remarkably, the stepwise transitions and their associated hysteresis were concurrently manifested in optical absorption and dielectric responses, demonstrating cooperative multistate modulation across photonic, magnetic, and electronic channels. This study, therefore, establishes a viable molecular-level approach for realizing tunable stepwise transitions with thermally hysteretic behavior in multiple-channel functionalities, paving the way for the development of next-generation multifunctional switchable materials and devices.
