Water-dependent charge-transfer-induced spin transition of Prussian blue analogues†
Abstract
Cobalt–iron Prussian blue analogues are magnetic functional compounds that exhibit charge-transfer-induced spin transition (CTIST), however, the role of guest species such as water in influencing the magnetic behaviour has remained unclear. Here, we report the water-dependent CTIST behaviour of Na0.46Co[Fe(CN)6]0.78(H2O)1.31 together with its single crystal X-ray structural analysis, for the first time.
