Metallomesogens spin-crossover

Seredyuk et al. also showed that for one type of metallomesogen, subtle changes in the ligand (alkyl chain length) or counter ion can results in three classes of systems with different interplay or synergism between the spin-crossover and solid-to-mesophase phase transition ...
