Spin crossover in the cyanide-bridged MoVMnIII single-chain magnet containing FeII cations†
Abstract
A 1D MoVMnIII chain compound balanced by {Fe[HC(3,5-Me2pz)3]2}2+ dications was prepared. This complex displays a typical single-chain magnet character associated with the MoVMnIII chain and a spin crossover phenomenon arising from cationic Fe(II) subunits. The spin crossover behavior tends to slightly affect single-chain magnetic properties at low temperature.
