    Abstract

    The quadrupolar ruthenium alkynyl cruciform complex is reversibly converted to tetravinylidene complex or tetraruthenium(III) tetracationic complex forms by protonation or oxidation, respectively; linear and nonlinear proto- and electrochromism studies reveal independent switching of NLO properties by the protic and electrochemical stimuli, respectively, aspects of which have been rationalized by theoretical studies.
