Herein, a novel amphiphilic small LCST molecule is rationally designed and synthesized. The molecule, namely <jats:bold>TG<\/jats:bold>, features a conjugation of multiple short ethylene glycol (EG) chains with the functional coordinating terpyridine (Tpy) moiety. The molecule <jats:bold>TG<\/jats:bold> demonstrates excellent LCST behavior down to 0.05\u00a0\u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup> <jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc> in a water solution. And a cloud point <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>cp<\/jats:sub> = 30.9\u00a0\u00b0C with a very short thermal hysteresis \u0394<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic> = 0.2\u00a0\u00b0C and good reversibility can be achieved when <jats:italic>c<\/jats:italic> = 0.1<jats:sup>\u00a0<\/jats:sup>\u00d7 10<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup> <jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>. The excellent LCST properties of <jats:bold>TG<\/jats:bold> have enabled its successful performance as the smart window for solar radiation management with the \u2206<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>lum<\/jats:sub>, \u2206<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>IR<\/jats:sub>, and \u2206<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>sol<\/jats:sub> being 83.6%, 49.1%, and 67.2%, respectively. Moreover, the presence of Tpy moiety in <jats:bold>TG<\/jats:bold> enables its coordination with Ru<jats:sup>3+<\/jats:sup> and the resulting complex also exhibits modulated LCST behavior with different concentration\u2010dependent <jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>cp<\/jats:sub>. These studies would provide novel small\u2010molecule\u2010based scaffolds for constructing better solar radiation management systems as well as other thermal\u2010responsive smart materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/marc.202400167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,7]],"date-time":"2024-06-07T10:49:29Z","timestamp":1717757369000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Coordinating Small Organic Molecule with Tunable Lower Critical Solution Temperature for Efficient Management of Solar Radiation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Junnan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Materials Science and Engineering Zhejiang University of Technology  Hangzhou City 310014 P.
