The diamagnetic two-dimensional Hofmann-type metal-organic framework [ZnII(2-mpz)2Ni(CN)4] has been successfully synthesized along with its isostructural hysteretic spin-crossover FeII analogue in the form of both bulk microcrystalline powder and nanoparticles. Detailed atomic force microscopy topographic study revealed a nanogrowth relationship between the height and length of the nanoparticle.
