A Proton Conducting Cobalt(II) Spin Crossover Complex

Spin crossover (SCO) complexes have been extensively explored as bistable materials and recently used as molecular modules for the development of new multifunctional molecular magnetic materials. Herein, we present the synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic, and electrical properties of a mononuclear cobalt complex constructed by a halogen-functionalized terpyridine derivative and organosulfonate. A complete and gradual spin transition with the T
