Spin-crossover in an organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite†
Abstract
The first spin-crossover (SCO) complex with an organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite structure (PPN)[Fe{Au(CN)2}3] (1) is reported, which displays three-step SCO behaviour. The light-induced excited spin-state trapping measurement gives T0 = 134 K for a three-dimensional FeL3-type (L = bis-monodentate ligand) SCO complex. Moreover, spin-state dependent fluorescence is observed in 1.
