Structural studies of thermal- and light-induced transitions in iron(II) spin-crossover complexes

Journal article

Since the spin-crossover (SCO) effect was first discovered, considerable efforts have been made to study compounds that exhibit this phenomenon. Herein we present a selection of our most exciting results from structural studies carried out on some of the fascinating iron(II) SCO compounds we have investigated over the past few years. We discuss a range of compounds from mononuclear to bimetallic polymeric complexes. © 2005 Académie des sciences. Published by Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
