We synthesized iron(II)-triazole spin crossover compounds of the type [Fe(atrz)3]X2 and incorporated and deposited them on electrospun polymer nanofibers. In view of possible applications, we chose iron(II)-triazole-complexes that are known to exhibit spin crossover close to ambient temperature. Therefore we used the complexes [Fe(atrz)3]Cl2 and [Fe(atrz)3](2ns)2 (2ns = 2Naphthalenesulfonate) and analyzed them with IR-, UV/Vis and Mossbauer spectroscopy and with a SQUID magnetometer. The synthesized complexes were then in one attempt deposited on fibers of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and in another attempt incorporated into core-shell like PMMA fiber structures. This was done via two different electrospinning methods. Deposition was performed by uniaxial electrospinning and incorporation was performed by coaxial electrospinning. The obtained polymer-complex-composites were then further investitgated by the same methods as the pure complexes as well as by SEM pictures and EDX measurements. The analysis by UV/Vis spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and temperature-depended magnetic measurements with the SQUID magnetometer showed that the spin crossover properties were maintained and were not changed after the electrospinning processes and that the complexes were not harmed during the procedure.
