Spin doctoring: FeIIH3LFeIIIL(NO3)2, where H3L is a hexadentate tripod ligand bearing three imidazole groups, is formed in a one-pot assembly reaction, and is shown to be a homochiral mixed-valence spin-crossover compound. The structure consists of a 2D assembled sheet that is held together by imidazole–imidazolate hydrogen bonds between FeIIH3L2+ and FeIIIL units (see picture). At least three electronic states can be accessed by temperature effects and photoirradiation.
