      abstract = {"The phenomenon of spin-crossover has a large impact on  the physical properties of a solid material, including its  colour, magnetic moment, and electrical resistance. Some  materials also show a structural phase change during the  transition. Several practical applications of  spin-crossover materials have been demonstrated including  display and memory devices, electrical and  electroluminescent devices, and MRI contrast agents.  Switchable liquid crystals, nanoparticles, and thin films  of spin-crossover materials have also been  achieved.Spin-Crossover Materials: Properties and  Applications presents a comprehensivesurvey of recent  developments in spin-crossover research, highlighting the  multidisciplinary nature of this rapidly expanding field.  Following an introductory chapter which describes the  spin-crossover phenomenon and historical development of the  field, the book goes on to cover a wide range of topics  including Spin-crossover in mononuclear, polynuclear and  polymeric complexes Structure: function relationships in  molecular spin-crossover materials Charge-transfer-induced  spin-transitions Reversible spin-pairing in crystalline  organic radicals Spin-state switching in solution  Spin-crossover compounds in multifunctional switchable  materials and nanotechnology Physical and theoretical  methods for studying spin-crossover materials  Spin-Crossover Materials: Properties and Applications is a  valuable resource for academic researchers working in the  field of spin-crossover materials and topics related to  crystal engineering, solid state chemistry and physics, and  molecular materials. Postgraduate students will also find  this book useful as a comprehensive introduction to the  field"--},
