Pressure‐Induced Conversion of a Paramagnetic FeCo Complex into a Molecular Magnetic Switch with Tuneable Hysteresis

Résumé

A key challenge in the design of magnetic molecular switches is to obtain bistability at room temperature. Here, we show that application of moderate pressure makes it possible to convert a paramagnetic FeIII2CoII2 square complex into a molecular switch exhibiting a full dia‐ to paramagnetic transition: FeIICoIII ⇔ FeIIICoII. Moreover, the complex follows a rare behavior: the higher the pressure, the broader the magnetic hysteresis. Thus, the application of an adequate pressure allows inducing a magnetic bistability at room temperature with predictable hysteresis width. The structural studies at different pressures suggest that the pressure‐enhanced bistability is due to the strengthening of intermolecular interactions upon pressure increase. An original microscopic Ising‐like model including pressure effects is developed to simulate this unprecedented behavior. Overall, this study shows that FeCo complexes could be very sensitive piezo switches with potential use as sensors.
