Abstract

A hysteretic spin transition is induced in a solution assembly of a mononuclear FeIII amphiphilic complex which exhibits only gradual spin crossover in the solid state. The hysteretic behavior is dependent on dynamic solution assembly and removal of solvent causes reversion to the original bulk solid magnetic response.
