In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of research on electrical and charge transport properties spin crossover complexes. This includes both the effect spin-state switching dielectric permittivity conductivity material vice versa influence an applied field (or current) system. The survey covers different size scales from bulk materials thin films to nanoparticles single molecules embraces presentation several device prototypes hybrid as well.
We studied the spin state dependence of electrical conductivity crossover compound [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4) (Htrz = 1H-1,2,4-triazole) by means dc measurements. The low is characterized higher conductance and lower thermal activation energy conductivity, when compared to high state.
