A ComplexSpin-Transition Thermal Hysteresis Unlockedby Two Competing Symmetry-Breakings

Abstract The spin-crossover material [Fe(NH2trz)3](NO3)2 belongs to the class of 1D triazole-based polymeric SCO complexes. It exhibits a thermal phase transition, with a 28 K wide thermal hysteresis, characterized by phase transition temperatures T↑ = 346 K upon warming and T↓ =...

Pressure-SelectiveMagnetic Switching via SpatiallySeparated Soft Interlayer and Rigid Charge-Transfer Intralayer

Abstract We report a pressure-responsive molecule-based magnet featuring a layered cyanido-bridged Co–W assembly, [{CoII(4-phenoxypyridine)4}3{WV(CN)8}2], exhibiting a distinct pressure-selective magnetic behavior. The compound forms two-dimensional charge-transfer layers with la...
