Thin films of different complexes based on tetrathiafulvalene and copp
er maleonitrile were electrodeposited onto indium tin oxide coated gla
ss and it was found that the application of a potential across the len
gth of the sample resulted in a change of the visible absorption spect
rum in samples where the ions in the complex had a permanent dipole mo
ment.
