description

The insertion of the [FeII(pyimH)3]2+ [pyimH = 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine] spin-crossover complex into a ferromagnetic bimetallic oxalate network affords the hybrid compound [FeII(pyimH)3][MnIICrIII(ox)3]2·X (ox = C2O42–). This spin-crossover complex templates the growth of crystals formed by a chiral 3D oxalate network. The magnetic properties of this hybrid magnet show the coexistence of long-range ferromagnetic ordering at 4.5 K and a spin crossover of the intercalated [FeII(pyimH)3]2+ complex above 250 K. The compound presents a light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) effect below 60 K although with limited photoconversion (less than 8 %).
