This invention belongs to the field of molecular-based functional materials and molecular electronic devices, specifically disclosing a coordination compound material based on an iron-
cobalt bimetallic center, its preparation method, and its application. The
chemical formula of the material is {[(pzTp)Fe Ⅲ (CN)3]2Co Ⅱ (3,4-bit)}·4CH3OH·2.5H2O, where pzTp is the
tetra(1-pyrazolyl)borate ligand of the iron center, and 3,4-bit is the bidentate
bridging ligand 3,4-bis(1-imidazolyl)
thiophene. The material uses iron and
cobalt ion centers as
electron transfer pairs, and cyano (CN) groups as bridging groups to construct Fe–CN–Co coordination units. The coordination
field strength, steric hindrance, and
crystal stacking mode of the iron and
cobalt metal centers are controlled by
nitrogen-containing ligands. This invention develops a novel Fe–Co molecular
device material that integrates
electron transfer, spin-transformation, and multi-
physics signal output in a single material. This material has outstanding advantages such as
structural stability, reversible
signal switching, and significant multi-stable-state
coupling, and has broad application prospects in molecular
information storage, multifunctional switches, and intelligent response materials.
