A chiral spin crossover metal–organic framework†
Abstract
A chiral metal–organic framework exhibiting spin crossover (SCO) property, [FeII(mptpy)2]·EtOH·0.2DMF (1·solv), has been solvothermally synthesized through spontaneous resolution. It displays remarkable stability and two-step SCO at (Tc1 = 200 K) and above (Tc2 = 357 K) room temperature.
