Article Abstract
Multi-step spin-crossover (SCO) materials, which exhibit multiple distinct spin states, are considered promising candidates for high-order data storage and multiple switches. However, such materials remain rare, necessitating the development of innovative design strategies. Here, we chose an inexpensive asymmetric ligand, 2-chloro-6-methylpyrazine (ClMepz), and synthesized two-dimensional (2D) Hofmann-type clathrates [Fe(ClMepz){M(CN)}]·ClMepz (M = Au (1), Ag (2)), in which ClMepz serves as a monodentate ligand and a guest molecule. Unlike the two-step SCO behavior in 2, compound 1 possesses more spin states and exhibits multi-step SCO behavior. The magneto-structural analysis reveals that the more linear [Au(CN)] unit exerts greater stress on the Hofmann layer, leading to the antiferro-elastic interactions. Additionally, the asymmetric host-guest interactions contribute to the stepwise SCO properties. Thus, the incorporation of asymmetric bisubstituted ligands into 2D Hofmann-type systems represents a viable and cost-effective strategy for the development of multi-step SCO materials.

Among the large family of spin-crossover (SCO) solids, recent investigations focused on polynuclear SCO materials, whose specific molecular configurations allow the presence of multi-step transitions and elastic frustration. In this contribution, we develop the first elastic modeling of thermal and dynamical properties of trinuclear SCO solids. For that, we study a finite SCO open chain constituted of successive elastically coupled trinuclear (A=B=C) blocks, in which each site (A, B, and C) may occupy two electronic configurations, namely, low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states, accompanied with structural changes.

A diverse range of relaxation dynamics of trapped spin-states are observed in spin crossover (SCO) materials, including exponential, sigmoidal, stretched exponential, multi-step, and mixed kinetics. We reproduce and explain this full range of relaxation behaviours using a semi-empirical, semi-classical model that combines crystal field theory with elastic inter-molecular interactions. We show that frustrated intermolecular interactions, which are responsible for multistep thermal transitions, also lead to multiple energetically competitive ordered phases, even in systems that contain only one crystallographically distinct SCO site.

We investigate the static properties of a new class of 1D Ising-like Hamiltonian for binuclear spin-crossover materials accounting for two-, three-, and four-body short-range interactions between binuclear units of spins and . The following 2-, 3-, and 4-body , , and terms are considered, in addition to intra-binuclear interactions, such as effective ligand-field energy and exchange-like coupling. An exact treatment is carried out within the frame of the transfer matrix method, leading to a 4×4 matrix from which, we obtained the thermal evolution of the thermodynamic quantities.
