Abstract
There are currently extended experimental and theoretical developments of spin crossover nanomaterials, in particular based on coordination polymers for the design of smart applications. In this context, we have reproduced a three step thermal transition in a cubic spin crossover nanomaterial with a system dimension of 5 × 5 × 5 metallic centers. For this purpose, we have calculated, using Monte Carlo Entropic Sampling technique, the density of states of all possible system configurations. In order to take into account the local environment, we have included an additional interaction term in the standard Ising like model. We have then analyzed the role of this new interaction as well as the system size effect variation (from 4 × 4 × 4 to 6 × 6 × 6 metallic centers). Comparison with a 2D SCO system shows that the spin transition still proceeds in three steps but is no longer hysteretic.

Summary
The potential applications of spin crossover (SCO) materials as temperature and pressure sensors [1–3], actuators, memory devices or electrical switches [4] and their possible spin state control at the molecular level are some important assets of these fascinating switching materials. SCO coordination compounds display a central metallic ion in an octahedral environment. The transition between the two spin states can be induced by applying external perturbations such as: a temperature variation, external pressure, light irradiation, magnetic or electrical field or by a chemical adsorption-desorption phenomenon [5–10]. It is nowadays commonly accepted that this type of switching phenomenon results from a synergistic effect between intramolecular interactions resulting from the strong bonding between metallic centres favoring an antiferromagnetic-like state (LS-HS-LS-HS,...) and intermolecular interactions of elastic. 2 2ofo8f 8 elastic origin favoring domains with the same spin sate (ferromagnetic‐like).
