Tuning size and magnetic thermal hysteresis in a new near room temperature spin crossover compound†
Abstract
A mononuclear spin crossover compound Fe(AP-Mesal)2, which exhibits spin transitions near room temperature and light induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effects at low temperature, was synthesized and substructured in the form of micro- and nanoscaled particles. A thermal hysteresis loop was detected with particle size
