This interest is driven by the potential applications in high-performance molecule-based electronics. As an example, 3D Fe/Co Prussian blue compounds exhibit a concomitant change in magnetic and optical properties due to a temperature- or light-induced metal-to-metal electron transfer (ET). The foregoing remarkable properties in Prussian blues prompted us to design soluble molecular fragments of these coordination networks through a rational building-block approach in order to mimic their properties on a single molecule (See Figure).  With a judicious choice of the ligands for metal ion precursors, we prepared a octanuclear, tetranuclear and recently dinuclear cyanido-bridged Fe/Co complexes. In the solid state, while an intramolecular ET is observed for the [Co4Fe4] and [Co2Fe2] complexes, the Co ion of our first dinuclear complex exhibits a spin crossover (SCO) involving a [FeIIILS-CN-CoIILS] ground state and a thermally populated [FeIIILS-CN-CoIIHS] state. To our knowledge, this compound is the only example of a heterobimetallic complex exhibiting a CoII  SCO. Remarkably, our studies of these [ConFen] complexes in solution reveal important optical and magnetic changes induced by an intramolecular metal-to- metal ET triggered and modulated by a controlled protonation of the complex, by the solvent nature or by temperature. Therefore, these molecules act as different molecular switches depending on their physical state and external  stimuli. These results motivated us to design new dinuclear [FeCo] complexes exhibiting both thermally and light induced electron transfer in solid state. Learning from these previous systems, new dinuclear complexes have been designed by a rational building-block approach. Combined structural, spectroscopic, magnetic and photomagnetic studies reveal that a metal-to-metal electron transfer that can be triggered by light, temperature and lattice contents is observed for the first time in solid state for a dinuclear cyanido- bridged Fe/Co complex.
