The tail that wags the dog : room-temperature spin crossover and Langmuir-Blodgett film formation of an iron(II) triazole complex featuring a long alkyl chain substituent

摘要

[FeII(C16dpt)2(NCS)2]·⅔H2O displays temperature-mediated spin crossover (SCO) with T½ = 290 K and the long alkyl chain substituent on the dipyridyltriazole ligand facilitates the formation of a stable Langmuir-Blodgett film at an air water interface.
