The Contribution of Lattice Vibrations to Switchable Spin-Crossover Crystals

University of Leeds Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Research Group: School of Chemistry

Spin-crossover is a high-spin-to-low-spin transition at a transition metal centre, induced by temperature or pressure. It is common in iron chemistry, but also occurs in some compounds of other common metals. Read more
