Modulation of the spin transition in 2D Hofmann frameworks via π⋯π stacking between the axial 2,5-dipyridyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles

Abstract

The π···π interactions in spin crossover (SCO) complexes can be used as an important means to fine-tune the spin transition behaviors. In this paper, three novel isostructural 2D Hofmann-type frameworks,...

Soma–Iwamoto-type SCO complex Fe(quinazoline)2[Au(CN)2]2 using the quinazoline-type ligand

“…5,6 Soma and Iwamoto reported both complexes. Many laboratories have researched the Hofmann-type and Soma–Iwamoto-type complexes 2–15 due to their potential to be used as functional materials such as sensors or switching materials and due to their tunable properties.…”
