Novel Iron(II) Microporous Spin-Crossover Coordination Polymers with Enhanced Pore Size
In this Communication, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel Hofmann-like spin-crossover porous coordination polymers of composition {Fe(L)[M(CN)(4)]}center dot G [L = 1,4-bis(4-pyridylethynyl)-benzene and M-II = Ni, Pd, and Pt]. The spin-crossover properties of the framework are closely related to the number and nature of the guest molecules included in the pores.
