RT Journal Article T1 Hexakis-adducts of [60]fullerene as molecular scaffolds of polynuclear spin-crossover molecules A1 Palacios-Corella, Mario A1 Ramos-Soriano, Javier A1 Souto, Manuel A1 Ananias, Duarte A1 Calbo, Joaquín A1 Ortí, Enrique A1 Illescas Martínez, Beatriz María A1 Clemente-León, Miguel A1 Martín León, Nazario A1 Coronado, Eugenio AB A family of hexakis-substituted [60]fullerene adducts endowed with the well-known tridentate 2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (bpp) ligand for spin-crossover (SCO) systems has been designed and synthesized. It has been experimentally and theoretically demonstrated that these molecular scaffolds are able to form polynuclear SCO complexes in solution. UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy studies have allowed monitoring of the formation of up to six Fe(II)–bpp SCO complexes. In addition, DFT calculations have been performed to model the different complexation environments and simulate their electronic properties. The complexes retain SCO properties in the solid state exhibiting both thermaland photoinduced spin transitions, as confirmed by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and Raman spectroscopy measurements. The synthesis of these complexes demonstrates that [60]fullerene hexakis-adducts are excellent and versatile platforms to develop polynuclear SCO systems in which a fullerene core is surrounded by a SCO molecular shell.
