Abstract

Hofmann-type spin-crossover (SCO) frameworks attract much attention due to their predictable structures and diverse SCO behaviours. In this paper, we report two isostructural two-dimensional (2D) Hofmann-type SCO frameworks [FeII(ppe)2MII(CN)4]·3H2O (ppe = 1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene and M = Pd for1and Pt for2). X-ray crystallographic studies, magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectra jointly reveal that both compounds undergo complete hysteretic two-step SCO,i.e.HS1.0 HS0.6-0.5LS0.4-0.5? LS1.0conversion with thermal hysteresis loops of 14 K and 28 K wide for1and 13 K and 26 K wide for2. The dehydrated samples,1-dehydrated and2-dehydrated, display different SCO behaviours, unveiling that the SCO behaviours are affected by guest water molecules.
