Abstract

Abstract : The substitution of sulphur by selenium leads to spin-crossover single-crystals exhibiting a large hysteresis centred at room temperature. Abstract : A large hysteresis centered around room temperature represents one of the mandatory goals of research on functional switchable materials. In the thoroughly studied field of spin-crossover, such behaviour appears very rarely and essentially concerns coordination networks. A new compound showing a large spin-crossover hysteresis spanning room temperature demonstrates in a definitive manner that this goal is achievable in molecular discrete compounds without damaging the single-crystal character.
