To investigate the unique thermal hysteresis properties in a bilayer Fe(II) spin crossover system.
Analyzed the coupling between spin states and alkyl chain dynamics.
Characterized thermal hysteresis in the context of spin transitions.
Conducted experiments to observe the behavior of high-spin to low-spin states.
Observed an inverted hysteresis loop during the high-spin to low-spin transition.
Demonstrated that individual alkyl chain motions significantly influence spin state behavior.
Highlighted the unique coupling mechanism contributing to the observed hysteresis.
Abstract
The coupling between the spin state and the complex motion of the individual alkyl chains results in a unique thermal hysteresis exhibiting an "inverted” loop. Specifically, the high-spin (HS) ...
