TL;DR: The synthesis of spin crossover 69 nm spherical nanoparticles of [Fe(NH2-trz)3](Br)2.3H2O.0.03(surfactant) (NH2trz = 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole, surfactant = Lauropal), prepared by the reverse micelle technique exhibit at room temperature a thermal hysteresis characterized by magnetic, diffuse reflectivity and Raman studies.

TL;DR: This paper describes the synthesis of iron(II) spin-crossover nanoparticles prepared by the reverse micelle technique by using the non-ionic surfactant Lauropal (Ifralan D0205) from the polyoxyethylenic family and indicates that at approximately 30 nm individual particles consist of one coherent domain.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal transition of coated nano-particles of the title compound, on a set of samples of average diameter, with rather broad size distributions, and recorded first-order reversal curves (FORC), the initial parts of which displayed a finite slope, revealing the presence of reversible contributions expected from particles smaller than the critical size associated with the collapse of the hysteresis loop.

TL;DR: The syntheses of [FeL](2+) are those of a complex of three rigid bidentate domains linked by a flexible spacer, rather than of a single encapsulating podand, which resemble those found for iron(ii) complexes of bidentates N-heterocyclic ligands.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the low-spin to high spin state phase transition induced by a single or a sequence of nanosecond laser pulses within the thermal hysteresis loop of the [Fe(NH2-trz)3]-NO3)2-H2O spin crossover compound and demonstrated that the final state that is photoinduced can be finely controlled by changing the central wavelength and the energy of the laser pulses.
