Abstract

A one-dimensional Fe^II coordination polymer (CP) has been formed which includes the redox-active ligand bis-pyridyltetrathiafulvalene (py₂TTF) and a Schiff base-like N₂O₂ ligand. This CP is both spin crossover (SCO) and redox-active in the solid-state, and chemical oxidation results in SCO modification.
