Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Aug 4;56(62):8838-8841. doi: 10.1039/d0cc03708g.

Abstract

Reported herein, the synthesis as well as the structural and magnetic characterisation of the largest reported dinuclear Fe(ii) triple helicate system to exhibit spin crossover-and also a rare example of a 273° helical twist using aromatic spacers-is presented, with exploration of the two-step spin-transition observed.
