摘　　要：Smart molecules have attracted increasing attention due to their transformative role in creating the next generation of smart structures and devices.Smart bistable coordination complexes are a class of functional complexes which have two stable states that can be reversibly switched in response to external stimuli.Such bistable molecules play a vital role in various applications,such as sensors,data storage,spintronics,smart windows,optical switches,information encryption and decryption,displays,actuators,etc.Herein,the recent research studies into the development of these smart bistable metal coordination complexes are reviewed.According to the different external stimuli,these smart bistable coordination systems have been classified and summarized,including light-responsive systems,thermally-responsive systems,electrically-responsive systems,mechanicallyresponsive systems,and some other cases.These systems are further subdivided according to the changes in signals(e.g.,color,fluorescence,spin state,crystalline phase)under external stimuli.The design principles of each type of smart bistable metal complexes as well as their broad and innovative applications are comprehensively described.Finally,the challenges and opportunities in this field are briefly analyzed and discussed.
