Controlling Three-Step and Five-Step Spin Transitions by Polymorphism in an FeⅢ Spin Crossover Complex

Regulating spin crossover(SCO)behavior,especially controlling the spin transition steps,is an important scientific issue,mainly be-cause people aim to control spin bistability and multistability.Presently,SCO bistability can be regulated by changing the lig-and-modifying species,non-coordinated anions,guest molecules,and metal-ion dopant.However,the control of multistability is ex-tremely challenging,especially in Fe(Ⅲ)SCO compounds.Here,we report that[FeⅢ(H-5-Br-thsa)(5-Br-thsa)]·H2O(5-Br-thsa=(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide),a compound we have reported before,exists in two polymorphic forms:polymorph 1 exhibits three-step SCO,and polymorph 2 shows five-step SCO,with multi-step SCO behavior effectively regulated by polymorphism.According to single-crystal and powder X-ray diffractometry,polymorphs 1 and 2 crystallize in different space groups during their spin transitions,with two-step symmetry breaking observed(Pbcn → Pnc2 → Pbcn for polymorph 1;P21/n → Pn →P21/n for polymorph 2).We realized that the behavior of these two polymorphs depends significantly on the structure,including(ⅰ)the average Fe-N bond distance,(ⅱ)deformation of octahedral FeⅢ atoms,and(ⅲ)distinct crystal packing,which account for the large differences observed in magnetic properties.
