What is it about?
Small changes in the chemical constituents of materials can radically impact magnetic performance. In this paper we explore how very small changes on the periphery of some metal complexes alter their magnetic properties.

Why is it important?
In the area of spin crossover chemistry, while anion effects are well explored changes in the position of the substituent are almost completely unexplored. In this paper we are able to correlate the structure of the complexes with their magnetic properties. This allows us to draw conclusions regarding better design of spin crossover materials.
Perspectives
We hope that the lessons from this paper will help other researchers in the search for air stable, spin crossover materials with a wide hysteresis at room temperature.
