Color scheme : Reversibly photochromic crystals of (MV)Bi 2 Cl 8 (methyl viologen, MV 2+ : N , N ′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridinium) show structural variations before and after UV irradiation. Color reversion is accomplished by heating in air (see picture). ([Bi 2 Cl 8 ] 2− ) ∞ double‐octahedral chains serve as electron donors to in situ generated MV 2+ dications.
