## Abstract The photophysical properties of the ferric catecholate spin‐crossover compounds [(TPA)Fe(R‐Cat)]X (TPA=tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine; X=PF~6~^−^, BPh~4~^−^; R‐Cat=catecholate dianion substituted by R=NO~2~, Cl, or H) are investigated in the solid state. The catecholate‐to‐iron(III) charge‐

Abstract
Thermal spin crossover (SCO) was induced in a high‐spin Fe^III^ complex by alkylation of the polyamino ligand backbone. The SCO profile was responsive to chain length with partial crossover observed with C~6~ alkylation and full transition upon lengthening to C~12~. No crossover was observed when the backbone was unfunctionalised, and all three complexes were obtained as unsolvated tetrafluoroborate salts.

The reaction of the ligand HL ´(HCl) 2 (HL = 2,6di(aminomethyl)-4-tert-butyl-thiophenol) with MCl 2 in methanol in the presence of sodium methanolate and air affords the dinuclear complexes [L 3 M 2 ][ClO 4 ] 3 (M = Fe: 2, Co: 3) in 85% and 68% yield, respectively. Both complexes were characterized
In iron(II) spin-crossover compounds, the transition from the 1 A 1 low-spin state at low temperatures to the 5 T 2 high-spin state at elevated temperatures is accompanied by a large increase in metal-ligand bond lengths. The resulting elastic interactions may be pictured as an internal pressure whi
