Abstract Four new salts of the well-known spin-crossover centre [Fe(3-bpp)(2)](2+) are described: [Fe(3-bpp)(2)][M(CN)(2)](2) (M = Ag, 1; M = Au, 2), [Fe(3-bPP)(2)][Au(SCN)(2)](2) (3) and [Fe(3-bpp)(2)][Bph(4)](2) (4) are reported. Monohydrate crystals of 1 and 2 are isostructural, and are better formulated as [Fe(3-bpp)(2)](2)[M(CN)(2)][M-3(CN)(6)]center dot 2H(2)O (M = Ag or Au) with the mononuclear and trinuclear anion sites being disordered within each anion dyad. These groups are linked into a 2D network topology through N-H center dot center dot center dot X (X = N or O) hydrogen bonding between the cations and the cyanometallate anions, and the lattice water. In contrast, the complex cations in the solvate 4 center dot 2CH(3)NO(2)center dot(C2H5)(2)O are completely encapsulated by phenyl groups from the BPh4- anions. Dried powder samples of 1-4 all exhibit very gradual thermal spin-state transitions centred at 198 <= T-1/2 <= 291 K. ES mass spectrometry of 1-3 implies that extensive ligand exchange between the iron and coinage metal ions occurs in solution. Solid 1 and 2 are not emissive at room temperature upon irradiation in the UV. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
