In most cases, molecular distortion does not typically result in changes in electronic structure. However in some unusual cases, such as spin crossover and valence tautomerism, the effect of a molecular distortion can be dramatic. Furthermore, distortion in one location has the potential to induce a change in electronic structure at a neighboring site resulting in cooperative behavior. We report studies looking for cooperative spin crossover induced by protonation in a self assembled grid, and attempts to product a coordination polymer that shows cooperative valence tautomerism and associated structural changes.<br/><br/>
