A chiral spin crossover metal-organic framework

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Apr 21;50(31):4059-61. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48935c.

Abstract

A chiral metal-organic framework exhibiting spin crossover (SCO) property, [Fe(II)(mptpy)2]·EtOH·0.2DMF (·solv), has been solvothermally synthesized through spontaneous resolution. It displays remarkable stability and two-step SCO at (Tc1 = 200 K) and above (Tc2 = 357 K) room temperature.
