High-temperature electron transfer coupled spin transition (ETCST) with hysteresis in a discrete [Fe2Co2] Prussian blue analogue†
Abstract
A thermoresponsive Fe–Co based discrete Prussian blue analogue (PBA) with the general formula [Fe(Tp)(CN)3]2[Co{en(Bn)py}]2(ClO4)2·4MeOH·4H2O i.e. [1·4MeOH·4H2O] is reported, which discloses a sharp and high temperature ETCST along with a wide hysteresis of 10 K observed for its desolvated complex 1.
