Rotational order–disorder and spin crossover behaviour in a neutral iron(ii) complex based on asymmetrically substituted large planar ionogenic ligand

Abstract

Octahedrally coordinated spin crossover (SCO) FeII complexes represent an important class of switchable molecular materials. This study presents the synthesis and characterisation of a novel complex, [FeII(ppt-2Fph)2]0·2MeOH, where ppt-2Fph is...
