1,4-Di(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)butane as building block for the preparation of the iron(II) spin-crossover 2D coordination polymer.
The novel bidentate ligand 1,4-di(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)butane (bbtr) reacts with Fe(ClO4)2 x 6H2O to form the 2D coordination polymer with (3,6) network topology. The {[Fe(bbtr)3](ClO4)2}infinity represents an example of spin-crossover material based on 1,2,3-triazole as donor group, and displays an abrupt spin transition accompanied by a thermal hysteresis loop (T(1/2)decrease = 101 K and T(1/2)increase = 109 K).
