Spin crossover with thermal hysteresis: practicalities and lessons learnt

Abstract

The observation of spin crossover with thermal hysteresis loops of more than a few Kelvin remains relatively uncommon and unpredictable, so is a relatively underdeveloped, but important, area of spin crossover, particularly for memory applications. Lessons learnt regarding the origins, and the practicalities of the proper study and reporting, of thermal hysteresis loops are considered and explained, from a synthetic chemists perspective, after a general introduction to the field of spin crossover.
