“…1 Metal-metal or metalligand charge transfer always occurs in molecular valence tautomers, leading to the redistribution of electron density and exhibiting electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, and can be further controlled by multiple external stimuli such as temperature, light, and electric field. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Therefore, molecular valence tautomers have potential application in molecular switches, displays, memory devices, and sensors. [9][10][11] The redox-active quinone ligand is one of the typical ligands for building metal-ligand charge transfer valence tautomerism.…”
