Abstract

A two-dimensional grid-like coordination polymer, [Fe(NCBH3)2(Py2ttz)2]·4CHCl3 (1·4CHCl3, Py2ttz = 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole), showed one-step complete spin crossover with unexpectedly large hysteresis loop of 64 K wide and temperature-induced excited spin-state trapping effect below 91 K.
