Abstract:
Multi-stimuli responsive switchable molecules have garnered interest for their potential applications in the field of magnetic materials. However, the persistent challenge lies in isolating these properties within the same material. Herein, we report a discrete [Fe2Co3] pentanuclear cyanide bridged complex, [Co(L)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·20H2O, (1) (L = (Z)-N'-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)picolinimidamide) which undergoes electron transfer coupled spin transition (ETCST) from [FeII2CoIIHSCoIII2] to [FeIII2CoII3] configurations through thermal activation and upon protonation.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
