Iron(ii)-triazole core–shell nanocomposites: toward multistep spin crossover materials†
Abstract
The first SCO@SCO core–shell nanomaterials have been synthesized by the step-by-step microemulsion method. The observed gyroscopic core–shell nanocomposites exhibit three-step spin crossover behaviour with thermal hysteresis at around room temperature. This offers an efficient and novel strategy for the development of multistable SCO materials.
