Pressure Sensor with a Color Change at Room Temperature Based on Spin-Crossover Behavior
Two new iron(II) complexes with 1D chain and 2D network structures have been successfully synthesized and characterized. One of the complexes exhibits a pressure-induced spin-crossover property with a reversible color change from white to purple at room temperature. The special property makes it a suitable candidate as a pressure sensor.
