Chemomechanical reaction : The first octahedral ruthenium bipyridine complex that bears six polymerizable vinyl groups is used as an active cross‐linker (see scheme, left). It is a key building block for cross‐linked polymeric networks (right) thus allowing the construction of molecular architectures in chemomechanical soft materials.
