title: Room-temperature spin crossover and Langmuir-Blodgett film formation of an iron(II) triazole complex featuring a long alkyl chain substituent: the tail that wags the dog.
abstract: [Fe(II)(C(16)dpt)(2)(NCS)(2)].(2/3)H(2)O displays temperature-mediated spin crossover (SCO) with T((1/2)) = 290 K and the long alkyl chain substituent on the dipyridyltriazole ligand facilitates the formation of a stable Langmuir-Blodgett film at an air-water interface.
