Abstract

Inclusion of an angular bridging ligand, 4,2′:6′,4′′-terpyridine (TPy), into a Hofmann-type framework produces an irregular network in which six- and five-coordinate Fe^II species co-exist. The octahedral sites show thermally-induced spin-crossover (SCO) and the rare five-coordinate Fe^II sites are high-spin.
