title: Guest molecule release triggers changes in the catalytic and magnetic properties of a Fe(II)-based 3D metal-organic framework.
abstract: A Fe(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF), {[Fe2(pbt)2(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, undergoes an irreversible dehydration, which triggers changes in the catalytic and magnetic properties of the MOF. These property changes are attributed to the high-spin to low-spin transition of 7.1% center Fe(II), which is demonstrated by (57)Fe Mössbauer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV/vis absorption spectra.
