Abstract

Multistability is exhibited by a metal-organic framework material that undergoes unique three-step spin crossover with 20 K thermal hysteresis (see picture). The stepwise transition is coupled to a three-step structural transformation that defines four distinct structural states. The material also exhibits reversible photo-induced spin crossover.
