Abstract
- It is promising and challenging to manipulate the electronic structures and functions of materials utilizing both metal‐to‐metal charge transfer (MMCT) and spin‐crossover (SCO) to tune the valence and spin states of metal ions. Herein, a metallocyanate building block is used to link with a FeII‐triazole moiety and generates a mixed‐valence complex {[(Tp4‐Me)FeIII(CN)3]9[FeII4(trz‐ph)6]}⋅[Ph3PMe]2⋅[(Tp4‐Me)FeIII(CN)3] (1; trz‐ph=4‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole). Moreover, MMCT occurs between FeIII and one of the FeII sites after heat treatment, resulting in the generation of a new phase, {[(Tp4‐Me)FeII(CN)3][(Tp4‐Me)FeIII(CN)3]8 [FeIIIFeII3(trz‐ph)6]}⋅ [Ph3PMe]2⋅[(Tp4‐Me)FeIII(CN)3] (1 a). Structural and magnetic studies reveal that MMCT can tune the two‐step SCO behavior of 1 into one‐step SCO behavior of 1 a. Our work demonstrates that the integration of MMCT and SCO can provide a new alternative for manipulating functional spin‐transition materials with accessible multi‐electronic states.
