Although a plethora of metal complexes have been characterized, those having multifunctional properties are very rare. This article reports three isotypical complexes, namely [Cu(benzoate)<i>L</i> <sub>2</sub>], where <i>L</i> = 4-styryl-pyridine (4spy) (<b>1</b>), 2'-fluoro-4-styryl-pyridine (2F-4spy) (<b>2</b>) and 3'-fluoro-4-styryl-pyridine (3F-4spy) (<b>3</b>), which show photosalient behavior (photoinduced crystal mobility) while they undergo [2+2] cyclo-addition. These crystals also exhib ...[more]
