[FeII(C16dpt)2(NCS)2]·⅔H2O displays temperature-mediated spin crossover (SCO) with T½ = 290 K and the long alkyl chain substituent on the dipyridyltriazole ligand facilitates the formation of a stable Langmuir-Blodgett ...
As a first step towards ambiphilic SCO systems where the hydrophobic part of the system is introduced by a non-coordinating anion (i.e. where no modification of the ligands to introduce hydrophobic substituents is required), ...
