Abstract
We describe various molecular switching processes occurring in several types of inorganic solids: spin cross-over (SC) compounds, photomagnetic Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), and valence-tautomeric system. Their thermo-, photo-, piezo-, and magneto-chromic properties are illustrated by recent examples. A common description of their static properties by a two-level model is given.
