Hierarchical lithographic patterning of two abrupt spin cross-over Fe(II) complexes into micro-cross-stripes

Abstract

Abstract: We have fabricated high-resolution microscale cross-patterns from two different Fe(II) spin crossover (SCO) complexes having transition temperatures (T1 / 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 (T1 / 2) 259 K and 323 K were fabricated through lithographic techniques.
