A re-evaluation of the two-step spin crossover in the trinuclear cation [Co3(dipyridylamido)4Cl2]+.
Density functional theory is used to explore the electronic states involved in the remarkable two-step spin crossover (S = 0 --> S = 1 --> S = 2) in the cationic extended metal atom chain [Co(3)(dpa)(4)Cl(2)](+) (dpa = the anion of 2-dipyridylamine) (R. Clérac, F. A. Cotton, K. R. Dunb...
