1.2- Dithiolenes multifunctional compounds

Metal dithiolene complexes represent an important class of organometaUic molecules which have been widely studied for their interesting properties such as redox activity, conductivity, and magnetism. In order to design new photo-respraisive multifunctional compounds, a series of complexes combining metalladithiolenes with azobenzene groups has been described by Nishihara et al. [36-38]. New square planar azobenzodithiolene Ni, Pd, and Pt complexes were prepared from the benzodithiolethione precursor [36, 37].
