Coordination dependence of cooperative effects in spin crossover [Fe{H<sub>2</sub>B(pz)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>(bipy)] thin film

ORAL

Abstract

The electronic state of Fe(II) spin crossover complex [Fe{H2B(pz)2}2(bipy)] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl, bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) thin film on Al2O3 has been investigated by magnetometry (SQUID) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in both the total electronic yield mode and the photo-luminescence yield mode. The transition temperature of the spin crossover transition has a 20 K difference between the cooling and heating sequence in magnetometry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy taken in both the total electronic yield and photo-luminescence yield modes, indicating cooperative effects in the Fe(II) spin crossover complex. The differences in the hysteresis loop for the spin crossover transition for this Fe(II) spin crossover complex at the surface of the molecular film, extracted from X-ray absorption taken in the total electronic yield mode, differs from the bulk, as obtained from magnetometry and photo-luminescence yield mode X-ray absorption. This indicates the intermolecular interactions between the spin crossover molecules, at the surface of the Fe(II) spin crossover complex thin film, differs from bulk.
