The synthesis and crystal structure of the interpenetrated metal–organic framework material Fe(bpac)2[Ag(CN)2]2 (bpac = 4,4′-bis(pyridyl)acetylene) are reported along with the characterization of its spin crossover properties by variable temperature magnetometry and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The complex presents an incomplete stepped spin transition as a function of temperature that is modified upon successive thermal cycling. The pressure-induced transition has also been investigated by means of high pressure Raman spectroscopy using a diamond anvil cell. The results show that it is possible to reach the thermally-inaccessible fully low spin state at room temperature by applying hydrostatic pressure to the sample.
