Abstract

We have fabricated high-resolution microscale cross-patterns from two different Fe(II) spin crossover (SCO) complexes having transition temperatures (\(T_{1/2}\)) 259 K and 323 K, through lithographic techniques. We hope that our original approach will be useful to create futuristic multi-component SCO devices.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

SYNOPSIS High-resolution micro-scale cross-patterns from two different Fe(II) spin cross-over (SCO) complexes having transition temperatures (\(T_{1/2})\) 259 K and 323 K were fabricated through lithographic techniques.
