Clerac et al. reported that the Fe (4-octadecyl-l,2,4-triazole)3 complex gelatinizes dodecane and shows thermal spin-crossover [104]. Aida et al. showed that Fe complex of double-chained 1,2,4-triazole ligands display spin-crossover, which was accompanied by dissolution of the dodecane gel [ 105]. In these systems, however, LS complexes are maintained only in the solid state or in organogels composed of crystalline aggregates. In addition.
