Abstract

A 3-D FeII Hofmann-type framework material has been prepared which contains a three-connecting pyridyl-donor ligand with amide functionality and [Au(CN)2]- metallo-ligands. The FeII sites display a rare FeII(py)3(N[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)3 coordination environment, which we show for the first time to be conducive to spin crossover (SCO).
