Spin transition complexes are an interesting class of materials exhibiting molecular bistability with potential applications in nanotechnological devices as memory storage units, sensors or displays. Since the discovery of the spin transition phenomenon in tris(N,Ndialkyldithiocarbamato) iron(III) complexes, numerous investigations have been devoted to this field of molecular magnetism. The spin transition phenomenon is probably the most spectacular example of bistability in molecular chemistry. However, it is a challenge to obtain spin transition materials when working under ambient conditions (eg. room temperature and pressure), which would be highly advantageous for potential applications. So far, only some Fe(II) and Fe(III) molecular systems have shown ... view more»
