This chapter discusses real‐time observation of spin‐transitions by optical microscopy (OM).
The physical features revealed by OM of spin‐transition crystals are consistent with well …

In molecular spin-crossover materials, the spin-state switching is strongly coupled with
changes in the structural degrees of freedom, which play a central role in the alteration of …

The recent effervescent impetus in the spin transition research field is associated with the
prodigious multidisciplinary effort that is carried out by different research groups all over the …

Optical microscopy investigations have allowed the study of the spatiotemporal dynamics of
the nucleation, growth, and propagation along with first-order phase transitions in …

The physical phenomenon of spin-crossover in molecular crystals is a multiscale process
whose properties rely on the supramolecular organization of the spin-crossover active …

A new spin-crossover (SC) complex [FeIIH2L2-Me] ACHTUNGTRENNUNG [AsF6] 2 has
been synthesized, in which H2L2-Me denotes the chirogenic hexadentate N6 Schiffbase …

Spin-transition compounds are one of the most versatile types of molecular switch. 1–3 They
undergo an electronic rearrangement under a physical stimulus from a high-spin state, with …

Applications of the classical flipping ratio technique to the determination of the spin density
by polarised neutron diffraction (PND) are described. In the domain of molecule-based …

We study by 100 picosecond X‐ray diffraction the photo‐switching dynamics of single crystal
of the orthorhombic polymorph of the spin‐crossover complex [(TPA) Fe (TCC)] PF6, in …

The current craze for research around the spin crossover phenomenon can be justified to
some extent by the mechanical properties due to the decrease of volume associated with the …
