A thermal- and light-induced switchable one-dimensional rare loop-like spin crossover coordination polymer

Abstract

= 65 K. However, either the homologous X = S (1) or the desolvated form of complex 2 is high spin at all temperatures, proving further the concerted synergy for the SCO of 2 between the intrinsic ligand field and that indirectly induced via hydrogen bond interaction. The current results provide valuable information for the design of new 1D SCO systems via the rational control of the cooperated effects derived from the intramolecular coordination bond and the intermolecular supramolecular interactions.
