This contribution reports on the state of the art of the elaboration and the application of
nanoparticles (NPs) and nanohybrid/nanocomposite materials based on spin-crossover …

Using ultrafast optical absorption spectroscopy, the room‐temperature spin‐state switching
dynamics induced by a femtosecond laser pulse in high‐quality thin films of the molecular …

Time-resolved studies with temporal resolution that separate molecular level dynamics from
macroscopic changes, allow clear distinction between the time scales of the different …

Cooperative photoinduced switching of molecular materials at the nanoscale is still in its
infancy. Strongly cooperative spin‐crossover nanomaterials are arguably the best …

We review here the recent progress made in the synthesis of spin crossover (SCO) Fe (II)
coordination complexes with two or three metal atoms, as well as coordination polymers …

Molecular magnets Cu (hfac) 2LR exhibit an unusual type of photoinduced
magnetostructural switching in exchange-coupled copper (II)-nitroxide clusters. Such …

Thin film structures with controlled functionalities are critical to exploit the exceptional
application capacity of spin crossover complexes. Here, we report spin crossover (SCO) in …

We present a study of a molecular material,[FeIII (3-MeO-SalEen) 2] PF6, undergoing
cooperative reversible photo-induced transition between low-spin state and high-spin state …

Paramount spin-crossover properties of the 3D-Hoffman metalorganic framework (MOF)[Fe
