Abstract
A comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties using the same family of complexes is crucial for understanding and designing structure-property relationships. However, finding the appropriate system remains challenging. Here, a series of guest-saturated states based on the 2D Hofmann-type framework [FeII(prentrz)2PdII(CN)4]·guest (prentrz = (1E,2E)-3-phenyl-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)prop-2-en-1-imine, 1·guest) is reported, which exhibit a guest-manipulated slow dynamic effect of spin equilibrium in an incomplete two-step spin-crossover (SCO) process. Using a full-sealed method by modulating the mixing ratios and types of CH3OH, H2O, and D2O, stable maintenance of guest-saturated states allows fine-tuning elastic frustration (ξ) of the framework to realize SCO behaviors in the unexplored region between one-step incomplete (HS0.5LS0.5↔HS) and two-step complete (LS↔HS0.5LS0.5↔HS) processes. A semi-sealed method enables continuous guest molecule loss until the guest-saturated state disappears, transitioning slow spin equilibrium from difficult to overcome to overcome fully. The study demonstrates that guest molecule modulation is more controllable than structural deformation effects on elastic frustration, offering a pathway to discover hidden types of SCO materials and develop new stimulus-responsive materials.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
