title: Cyanide-bridged decanuclear cobalt-iron cage.
abstract: A cyanide-bridged decanuclear [Co6Fe4] cluster was synthesized by a one-pot reaction, and the magnetic properties and electronic configuration were investigated. The complex displayed thermally controlled electron-transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) behavior between Co(III) low-spin-NC-Fe(II) low-spin and Co(II) high-spin-NC-Fe(III) low-spin states, as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray, magnetic, and Mössbauer analyses.
