Tuning of spin crossover equilibrium in catecholatoiron(III) complexes by supporting ligands.
Introduction of electron-withdrawing groups on co-ligands effectively raises the spin crossover temperature of catecholatoiron(III) complexes and induces a significant amount of the low spin species in solution even at around room temperature.
