Abstract

Manipulating bistability at the molecular level, especially in single-molecule magnet (SMM) and spin-crossover (SCO) materials, has attracted enormous recent interest due to their multifaceted magnetic behaviour and potential applications in devices. Moreover, their fascinating properties can be further modulated via chemical modifications and external stimuli, bringing about vast possibilities and valuable lessons. In this Feature Article, we present a selection of our research into this topic, as well as some other related achievements that have been made in recent years.
