The photochromic paramagnet derived from polyoxometalate [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3− and ruthenium mononitrosyl complex [RuNO(en)2Cl]2+

The bifunctional material [RuNO(en)2Cl]3[Cr(OH)6 Mo6O18]2 · 17H2O (en – ethylenediamine), comprisingphotochromic and paramagnetic molecular blocks, have been synthesised. The crystal structure, photochromic and magnetic properties of the compound have been investigated.
