Abstract:
Three one-dimensional looped coordination polymers with the formula of [Fe(dpds)2{C(CN)3}2]·dpds (1, dpds = 4,4'-dipyridyl disulfide), [Fe(dpds)2(NCBH3)2] (2) and [Fe(dpds)2(NCSe)2]·3.5H2O (3) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The spin-crossover (SCO) behaviors of these compounds depend significantly on axial ligands: compound 1 exhibited thermal-induced complete one-step SCO behavior with a T1/2 of 170 K, and 2 showed incomplete SCO behavior with T1/2 being 130 K, whereas 3 was paramagnetic. Meanwhile, both compounds 1 and 2 displayed light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) effects, featuring TLIESST values of 45 K and 61 K for 1 and 2, respectively, which were independent of exciting laser wavelengths. These results suggest that anions such as C(CN)3- and NCBH3- with much stronger ligand fields are needed in order to realize spin-state switching, if a ligand such as dpds is adopted to synthesize SCO compounds.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
