Abstract
A bis-cyclometalated
alkynylgold(III) complex, [Au(<sup><i>t</i></sup>BuC^N^C<sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu)(CC–C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>N(C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>-<i>p</i>)] (<sup><i>t</i></sup>BuHC^N^CH<sup><i>t</i></sup>Bu = 2,6-bis(4-<i>tert</i>-butylphenyl)pyridine),
has been synthesized and characterized. The complex was found to exhibit
rich photophysical and electrochemical properties. More interestingly,
the complex has been employed in the fabrication of organic memory
devices. The as-fabricated memory devices exhibited good performances
with low operating voltage, high ON/OFF ratio, long retention time,
and good stability
