Bifunctional [Fe <sub>6</sub> Co <sub>7</sub> ] cyanide bridged assemblies: electron transfer coupled spin transition and liquid crystal properties
We present the first alkyl-chain functionalized [FeCo] PBAs exhibiting synchronized LC and ETCST at melting temperatures, with reversible thermochromism in solution phase. Alkylation facilitates thin-film processing while retaining magnetic behavior.
