(author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author) We report on theoretical and experimental work involving a particular molecular switch, an [FeII(L)2]2+ complex, that utilizes a spin transition (“crossover”). The hallmark of this transition is a change of the spin of the metal ion, SFe=0 to SFe=2, at fixed oxidation state of the Fe ion. Combining density functional theory and first principles...
