Abstract

Abstract : A homochiral 3D mechanically interlocked framework based on 1D loops is presented, which shows reversible single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation and enables the interconversion between one-step and two-step spin crossover behaviors. Abstract : An atypical homochiral spin-crossover (SCO) framework (1) constructed from mechanically interlocked 1D molecular loops was prepared. Due to the flexibility of the interlocked structure, the guest solvent molecules can be reversibly exchanged. Consequently, its SCO behavior was capable of modulating between one- and two-stepped transitions in response to acetonitrile and methanol.
