Direct Observation of Ordered High-Spin-Low-Spin Intermediate States of an Iron(III) Three-Step Spin-Crossover Complex.

A neutral mononuclear Fe(III) complex [Fe(III) (H-5-Br-thsa-Me)(5-Br-thsa-Me)]⋅H2 O (1; H2 -5-Br-thsa-Me=5-bromosalicylaldehyde methylthiosemicarbazone) was prepared that exhibited a three-step spin-crossover (SCO) with symmetry breaking and a 14 K hysteresis loop owing to strong cooperativity. Two ordered intermediate states of 1 were observed, 4HS-2LS and 2HS-4LS, which exhibited reentrant phase-transition behavior. This study provides a new platform for examining multistability in SCO complexes.
