Recently we assisted a strong renewed interest in the fascinating field of molecular spin
crossover complexes by (1) the emergence of nanosized spin crossover materials through …

In molecular spin-crossover materials, the spin-state switching is strongly coupled with
changes in the structural degrees of freedom, which play a central role in the alteration of …

The spin-crossover phenomenon (SCO) is a fascinating field that potentially concerns any
material containing a (d4–d7) transition metal complex finding therefore an echo in as …

A bis (pyrazolylpyridyl) ligand, L, containing a central photochromic dithienylethene spacer
predictably forms a ferrous [Fe2L3] 4+ helicate exhibiting spin crossover (SCO). In solution …

The area of spin crossover (SCO) attracts interest both on a fundamental level and in terms
of potential applications for compounds displaying this phenomenon. A few families of Fe (II) …

Martensitic transformations are well documented in metals and alloys where the atoms
connected via metallic bonds rearrange concertedly and rapidly; however, due to the metal …

In this paper, we present the ingredients that allow the building-up of the elastic model, one
of the approaches that successfully describes the phenomena observed in complex spin …

Spin-crossover (SCO) molecules are versatile magnetic switches with applications in
molecular electronics and spintronics. Downscaling devices to the single-molecule level …

We investigated by optical microscopy the propagation of the thermal spin transition in [Fe
(btr) 2 (NCS) 2]· H 2 O·(btr= bis-triazole) single crystals. Using high-quality fresh crystals …

The observation and the study of first-order phase transitions in cooperative spin-crossover
(SCO) solids exhibiting hysteresis behaviours are of particular interest and currently …
