Electron-deficient viologens are widely used as ligands or structure-directing agents(SDAs)to synthesize crystalline X-ray induced photochromic materials.Here,a new rational strategy of anion-directed fold-ing a flexible cation(H2imb)2+((H2imb)2+=di-protonated 2,3-bis(imidazolin-2-yl)-2,3-dimethylbutane)has been developed.Electron-donating Cl-and(ZnCl4)2-are used to direct folding a flexible electron-deficient(H2imb)2+cation.Three complexes(H2imb)(NO3)2(1),(H2imb)Cl2·H2O(2),and(H2imb)ZnCl4(3)have been synthesized in which(H2imb)2+crystallize in an anti-conformation,88.8°-gauche,and 51.8°-gauche,respectively.In contrary to X-ray silent complex 1,X-ray induced photochromism has been achieved in both complex 2 and 3.An intermolecular charge-transfer mechanism has been elucidated and the anion directed folding of(H2imb)2+has been validated to be critical to yield colored long-lived charge-separated states.
