Bistable spin-crossover (SCO) complexes that undergo abrupt and hysteretic (ΔT<sub>1/2</sub> ) spin-state switching are desirable for molecule-based switching and memory applications. In this study, we report on structural facets governing hysteretic SCO in a set of iron(II)-2,6-bis(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine) (bpp) complexes - [Fe(bpp-COOEt)<sub>2</sub> ](X)<sub>2</sub> ⋅CH<sub>3</sub> NO<sub>2</sub> (X=ClO<sub>4</sub> , 1; X=BF<sub>4</sub> , 2). Stable spin-state switching - T<sub>1/2</sub> =288 ...[more]
