Challenges in Engineering Spin Crossover: Structures and Magnetic Properties of Six Alcohol Solvates of Iron(<scp>II</scp>) Tris(2‐picolylamine) Dichloride

Abstract

So similar yet so different: The crystal structures of six alcohol solvates of the title compound (see formula) are found to be very similar at 200 K. In contrast, their spin-transition behavior and their structural phase transitions are quite different. Implications of these observations for crystal engineering are discussed.
