Polymer Mediated Control and Migration Effects in Spin-Crossover-Polymer Hybrids Towards Tunable Thermal Sensing Applications.

ABSTRACT: Tailoring the spin crossover (SCO) effect in molecular materials remains a fundamental challenge, driven by the need to control critical parameters, such as the spin transition temperature (T₁/₂), hysteresis width, cooperativity, and switching kinetics for applications in sensing, memory, and actuation devices. SCO behavior is highly sensitive to small changes in the structure or crystal structure of the surrounding environment. In this context, achieving predictable and reproducible control remains elusive. Embedding SCO complexes into polymer matrices offers a more versatile and processable approach, but understanding how matrix-guest interactions affect spin-state behavior is still limited. In this study, we investigate a polymer-mediated strategy to tune SCO prope
