Co–NC–W and Fe–NC–W Electron‐Transfer Channels for Thermal Bistability in Trimetallic {Fe₆Co₃[W(CN)₈]₆} Cyanido‐Bridged Cluster

Abstract

Which way to choose? The trimetallic cyanide-bridged Fe6Co3W6 cluster serves as a molecular platform for two cooperating electron-transfer channels, WV–CN–HSCoII⇄WIV–CN–LSCoIII and WV–CN–HSFeII⇄WIV–CN–HSFeIII. {CoII3FeII6[WV(CN)8]6(MeOH)24}⋅x MeOH has a first-order unique spin transition with thermal charge-transfer-induced spin transition and spin bistability that is due to a specific distribution of Co and Fe sites.
