Triptycene-based diiron(II) and dizinc(II) mesocates were obtained using a novel rigid ligand with two pyridylbenzimidazole chelating units fused into the triptycene scaffold. Studies on the diiron(II) assembly in solution showed that the complex undergoes thermal-induced one-step spin-crossover with T 1/2 at 243 K (Evans method).
