Double spin crossovers: a new double salt strategy to improve magnetic and memory properties†
Abstract
The structural, magnetic and Mössbauer spectral properties of a double salt, mixed-valent material, [FeII(3,5-Me2TPM)(TPM)][FeIII(azp)2]ClO4·2MeCN, 1, reveal spin transitions occur at both the metal sites, with hysteresis, indicative of 1 being a double spin crossover material.
