Electron-Induced Spin Crossover of Single Molecules in a Bilayer on Gold

Single molecules of the iron(II) complex [Fe(bpz)2phen] (phen=1,10‐phenanthroline, bpz=dihydrobis(pyrazolyl)borate) are reversibly switched between low spin and high spin by electron‐induced spin crossover (ELIESST) in a bilayer on gold, as revealed by STM.
