Towards a symmetric reversible single-molecule switch: Amino-imino-cyclo-n-enes

We propose cyclic 5- and 7-ring structures with alternating single and double bonds and adjacent imino and amino groups as candidates for switches in molecular electronics, with amino-imino tautomerisation as the switching mechanism. Due to the C2V-symmetric transition state, the molecules exhibit a...
