title: The foundation of modern spin-crossover.
abstract: The first explanation of spin-crossover in iron(II) complexes was published in Chem. Commun. in 1966. This has led to nearly 50 years of research in coordination chemistry, crystal engineering, solid state chemistry and physics, and nanoscience involving this class of molecular switch.
