Enhancement of spin-crossover cooperativity mediated by lone pair-π interactions and halogen bonding

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Jan 28;50(8):1003-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc48334g.

Abstract

Rational ligand design has allowed the generation of a highly cooperative spin-transition iron(II) complex, an unprecedented result in the family of (2,2'-dipyridylamino/s-triazine)-based SCO materials.
