Chemistry. 2016 Jan 22;22(4):1253-7. doi: 10.1002/chem.201504883. Epub 2015 Dec 21.

Unprecedented anionic Fe(III) spin crossover (SCO) complexes involving a weak-field O,N,O-tridentate ligand were discovered. The SCO transition was evidenced by the temperature variations in magnetic susceptibility, Mössbauer spectrum, and coordination structure. The DFT calculations suggested that larger coefficients on...
