• device conductance if an on/off ratio = 1.5 is considered [15]. Optical addressing Besides addressing the switching ability of Ru(TP)2-complexes by electrical means the influence of light illumination on these Ru(TP)2-complex devices is investigated. We studied the photoconductance properties of Ru(TP)2
