Photoexcitation of coordinated complex 1 leads to the formation of charge-transfer complex Cu2+(DDQ•−)2 (2). The charge transfer complex 2, when spun on solid substrates, forms nanowires. Sandwich structures of 2 exhibit electrical bistability associated with memory phenomenon. Read-only and random-access memory phenomena are evidenced in nanowires of 2 providing a route to attend the issues pertaining to the addressibility of organic memory devices.</p>1 aRath, Arup, Kumar1 aDhara, Koushik1 aBanerjee, Pradyot1 aPal, Amlan, J.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/nanowires-metal-organic-complex-photocrystallization-system-achieve-addressable-electrically
