“…In this context the attractive actuating properties of SCO materials represent also a very appealing scope. Macroscopic SCO actuators have been recently created by embedding SCO particles in polymer matrices . Particles of the SCO complex [Fe(Htrz) 2 (trz)](BF 4 ) were dispersed in a poly(methylmethacrylate) matrix by Gural'skiy et al and the composite films were then coated with a conducting polymer layer to form a bimorph cantilever.…”

“…Of particular interest here will be the use of electroactive polymers, which can allow for conversion between mechanical and electrical forms of energy via the electromechanical effect. This approach was successfully used to modulate the conductivity of piezoresistive polypyrrol via the SCO and also to generate discharge current and mechanical actuation peaks in P(VDF‐TrFE) matrices . For future work in this direction it will be thus particularly important to investigate how the microscopic mechanical response of the SCO particles is transmitted, amplified, and converted concomitantly into macroscopic scale mechanical and/or electrical responses by the polymer matrix material.…”

Nanoscale spin crossover materials capable of undergoing reversible switching between two electronic configurations with markedly different physical properties are excellent candidates for various technological applications. In particular, they can serve as active materials for storing and processing information in photonic, mechanical, electronic, and spintronic devices as well as for transducing different forms of energy in sensors and actuators. In this progress report, a brief overview on the current state-of-the-art of experimental and theoretical studies of nanomaterials displaying spin transition is presented. Based on these results, a detailed analysis and discussions in terms of finite size effects and other phenomena inherent to the reduced size scale are provided. Finally, recent research devices using spin crossover complexes are highlighted, emphasizing both challenges and prospects.

Thin films of the molecular spin‐crossover complex [Fe(HB(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)3)2] undergo spin transition above room temperature, which can be exploited in sensors, actuators, and information processing devices. Variable temperature viscoelastic mapping of the films by atomic force microscopy reveals a pronounced decrease of the elastic modulus when going from the low spin (5.2 ± 0.4 GPa) to the high spin (3.6 ± 0.2 GPa) state, which is also accompanied by increasing energy dissipation. This technique allows imaging, with high spatial resolution, of the formation of high spin puddles around film defects, which is ascribed to local strain relaxation. On the other hand, no clustering process due to cooperative phenomena was observed. This experimental approach sets the stage for the investigation of spin transition at the nanoscale, including phase nucleation and evolution as well as local strain effects.

“…Spin-crossover (SCO) compounds are an important class of molecular switches which are widely studied in molecular materials chemistry [1][2][3]. The SCO switching event changes a number of physical properties in a material including its colour, magnetic moment [4], volume [5], dielectric properties [6][7][8][9], conductivity [9][10][11][12], and fluorescence [13][14][15]. Solid or mesophase phase transitions and isotropic melting can also be coupled to spin transitions in soft materials containing SCO centres [16,17].…”

Two phenyl ester and three benzyl ester derivatives have been synthesized from 2,6-di(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine-4-carboxylic acid and the appropriate phenyl or benzyl alcohol using N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the coupling reagent. Complexation of the ligands with Fe[BF4]2·6H2O in acetone yielded the corresponding [FeL2][BF4]2 complex salts. Four of the new ligands and four of the complexes have been crystallographically characterised. Particularly noteworthy are two polymorphs of [Fe(L3)2][BF4]2·2MeNO2 (L3 = 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl 2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyridine-4-carboxylate), one of which is crystallographically characterised as high-spin while the other exhibits the onset of spin-crossover above room temperature. The other complexes are similarly low-spin at low temperature but exhibit gradual spin-crossover on heating, except for an acetone solvate of [Fe(L5)2][BF4]2 (L5 = benzyl 2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyridine-4-carboxylate), which exhibits a more abrupt spin-transition at T½ = 273 K with 9 K thermal hysteresis.
