Popis: The spin crossover complex Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 and its composite, Fe(phen)2(NCS)2, combined with the conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI) plus varying concentrations of iron magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were studied. A cooperative effect is evident from the hysteresis width in the plot of magnetic susceptibility multiplied by temperature versus temperature (χmT versus T) for Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 with PANI plus varying concentrations of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The hysteresis width in the composites vary no more than 2 K with respect to the pristine Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 spin crossover crystallites despite the fact that there exists a high degree of miscibility of the Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 spin crossover complex with the PANI. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 plus PANI composite tend to agglomerate at higher concentrations regardless of the spin state of Fe(phen)2(NCS)2. Of note is that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles are shown to be antiferromagnetically coupled with the Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 when Fe(phen)2(NCS)2 is in the high spin state.
