How Do Spin-Spin Interactions Influence Spin-Crossover Phenomena?
Spin-crossover phenomena, where a molecule can switch between different spin states, are deeply influenced by spin-spin interactions. These phenomena are particularly important in switchable catalysts that can change their catalytic properties in response to external stimuli like temperature or pressure. The interplay between different spin states, mediated by spin-spin interactions, can lead to reversible changes in catalytic activity, enabling the development of smart catalytic systems.
