Effect of intermolecular anionic interactions on spin crossover of two triple-stranded dinuclear Fe(ii) complexes showing above room temperature spin transition

Two new Fe(ii)-based dinuclear triple helicates [Fe 2 L 3 ] 4+ , displaying near room temperature spin transition have been synthesized and the effect of intermolecular interactions and co-operativity between metal centers on the SCO has been studied.
