Abstract | The Mol-CoSM project is a multidisciplinary and fundamental project which has the objective of designing new multifunctional molecular transition metal complexes combining, in a synergic manner, the spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon – including photo-induced and hysteretic effects – with fluorescence. The project has three main objectives : (i) the control of the fluorescence yield according to the nature of the used fluorophore and to its coordination mode and crystal packing ; (ii) the control of the switching parameters of the SCO part, such as the transition temperature and the cooperativity ; and (iii) the understanding of the electron-phonon interaction between the fluorescent ligand and the SCO metal centre so as to enhance the bi-functionality features in order to produce thermal bistability, both on the magnetic and fluorescent properties.
