Electronic vs. structural ordering in a manganese(III) spin crossover complex.
A symmetry breaking spin transition in a Mn(III) complex is reported with three structural phases, a high symmetry high temperature S = 2 phase, an intermediate S = 1/S = 2 ordered phase and an aperiodic low temperature phase with S = 1 cations. The aperiodicity is interpreted as resulting from long-range ordering of the NTf2(-) anions.
