Above room temperature spin transition in a metallo-supramolecular coordination oligomer/polymer.
By use of a metallo-supramolecular concept, a linear iron(ii) coordination chain [Fe(II)(L)](n)(BF(4))(2n) (L = 1,4-bis(1,2':6',1''-bispyrazolylpyridin-4'-yl)benzene) was rationally designed and synthesized. The molecular chain shows a reversible spin transition at 323 K with a ca. 10 K wide hysteresis loop.
