N2 - A novel highly soluble spin-crossover (SCO) [FeII(L) 2](BF4)2 complex (I) was prepared, where L = 4,4″-dioctylated 2′,6′-bispyrazolylpyrine. Complex I shows reversible temperature dependent SCO behavior with a T1/2 centered around 270 K. Exploiting the high solubility and hence superior processability of complex I nano/micro scale arrays and square patterns were fabricated on a glass substrate. Additionally, for the first time, for the possible flexible technological applications, the SCO arrays (area: 2 mm2) were successfully embedded within an optically transparent thin polystyrene film and studied using Raman spectroscopy/imaging technique. Variable temperature Raman spectroscopy studies further confirmed the SCO behavior of complex I.
