Spin crossover (SCO) complexes are of interest for potential applications in quantum computing. The SCO phenomenon involves a change of spin state in response to an external perturbation such as change in temperature; the compounds of interest show hysteresis in their solid state susceptibilities. To help understand the structural features that govern this process, we are examining the solution behavior of these systems. NMR relaxation measurements, illustrating the physical magnetic relaxation process, will be correlated with Evans susceptibility measurements, on a series of Fe and Co SCO complexes.
