| Description | The is a second component of the grant with the same title in my portfolio, and is now held in Bath because Professor Robert Deeth, formerly of the University of Warwick, has moved to Bath. He has been undertaking computational studies on spin crossover complexes, and we are using his input to direct and underpin our synthetic studies. We have established control over the temperature related switching properties of new classes of spin crossover materials. |
| Exploitation Route | Other may use the knowledge that we have gained in the control of the spin crossover temperature and the width of the hysterisis loop to design magnetically switching materials. |
| Sectors | Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) Electronics Energy |
| Description | There has been significant academic impact from the work undertaken in this project. The range of spin crossover systems that have been developed has expanded and the new knowledge gained has been absorbed by the research community working on the design and development of new spin crossover molecular systems. The benefits of analysising the new spin crossover complexes using synchrotron sources has also been established, where high intensity X-ray beams allow the full three-dimensional structures spin crossover complexes in the crystalline form to be resolved rapidly. The work has also benefitted from computational studies and new methods of calculating the structures and magnetic properties have been applied to a wider range of materials than those originally covered in the proposal. |
