Abstract

We describe the synthesis of switchable spin crossover materials via mechanochemistry for the first time. Three chemically diverse spin crossover materials have been produced using solvent-free grinding. Crucially, cooperative spin transition behavior and crystallinity is retained, presenting exciting opportunities for the discovery of new materials with switchable magnetic, optical and structural properties.
