A stacking spin-crossover iron(II) compound with a large hysteresis †

Abstract

An inclusion compound [Fe(dpp)2(NCS)2]·py has been prepared and characterized by magnetic and Mössbauer spectral measurements (dpp = dipyrido[3,2-a∶2′3′-c]phenazine and py = pyridine); it shows a spin-crossover behavior with a large hysteresis (ΔTc = 40 K).
