Conversion of Flexible Spin Crossover Metal–Organic Frameworks Macrocrystals to Nanocrystals Using Ultrasound Energy: A Study on Structural Integrity by MicroED and Charge‐Transport Properties (Small 25/2026)
Metal–Organic Frameworks In the Research Article (2408966), E. Carolina Sañudo, José Sanchez Costa, and co-workers address the key challenge of preserving spin crossover properties upon miniaturization of metal-organic frameworks. By using sonication, a robust 3D framework is converted into nanocrystals while maintaining structural integrity spin crossover behaviour and charge transport as demonstrated by microcrystal electron diffraction spectroscopy and electrical measurements enabling new opportunities for device-level applications.
