Abstract

Abstract : Bistable spin‐state switching near room temperature : Two mononuclear iron(II) complexes showing technologically relevant abrupt and wide hysteretic, bistable spin‐state switching characteristics in the vicinity of room temperature are reported. The large structural reorganizations from the Jahn–Teller‐distorted high‐spin state to the less distorted low‐spin state and ethyl group conformational switching are proposed as the main contributing factors rendering the switching hysteretic.
