Variation in the zero-point energy difference via electrostatic interactions in Co(ii)-Cltpy-based spin-crossover molecular materials

Abstract

Newly synthesized Co(II)-Cltpy-based spin-crossover molecular materials involving ClO4-, BF4-, PF6-, and CF3SO3- are systematically investigated by emphasizing the structure-property interplay. The multi-facet character of the ligand, 4′-Chloro-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (Cltpy) makes the...
