We have added the {Re<sup>IV</sup> X<sub>5</sub> }<sup>-</sup> (X=Br, Cl) synthon to a pocket-based ligand to provide supramolecular design using halogen⋅⋅⋅halogen interactions within an Fe<sup>III</sup> system that has the potential to undergo spin crossover (SCO). By removing the solvent from the crystal lattice, we "switch on" halogen⋅⋅⋅halogen interactions between neighboring molecules, providing a supramolecular cooperative pathway for SCO. Furthermore, changes to the halogen-based interact ...[more]
