Abstract

AbstractA neutral mononuclear FeIII complex [FeIII(H‐5‐Br‐thsa‐Me)(5‐Br‐thsa‐Me)]⋅H2O (1; H2‐5‐Br‐thsa‐Me=5‐bromosalicylaldehyde methylthiosemicarbazone) was prepared that exhibited a three‐step spin‐crossover (SCO) with symmetry breaking and a 14 K hysteresis loop owing to strong cooperativity. Two ordered intermediate states of 1 were observed, 4HS–2LS and 2HS–4LS, which exhibited reentrant phase‐transition behavior. This study provides a new platform for examining multistability in SCO complexes.
