Abstract
A novel spin-crossover (SCO) dinuclear complex, [Fe2(μ2-cp-trz)3(cp-trz)2(tcm)4] (cp-trz = 4-cyclo-pentyl-1,2,4-triazole, tcm- = tricyanomethanide anion), was synthesized and thoroughly characterized. Crystallographic analyses at 250 and 180 K revealed a centrosymmetric dinuclear structure with Fe(II) centers bridged by triazole ligands. The complex exhibits a cooperative hysteretic thermally induced abrupt one-step spin transition between high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) states. Magnetic measurements (Magn), X-rays diffraction (XRD), and optical microscopy (OM) show the following switching temperatures: T1/2↓Magn = 202 K and T1/2↑Magn = 212 K, and T1/2↓OM ≃ T1/2↓XRD = 203 K and T1/2↑OM ≃ T1/2↑XRD = 207 K. Moreover, structural and OM studies reveal significant anisotropic lattice changes, driven by strong hydrogen bonding along the c axis, which underpins the cooperative behavior of the SCO transition, and propagation of the HS/LS interface along the spin transition.
