It has been recognized that both the ligand fields and intermolecular interactions may greatly impact the electron-transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) events in switchable magnetic materials; however, the engineering of these factors within a given system is still challenging. In this article, we chose the 4,4'-substituent 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives as chelating ligands according to their increasing electron-donating strength and incremental potential for forming hydrogen bonds (bpy(CHO,CH3)(L1) < bpy(CH2OH,CH3) (L2) < bpy(CH2OH,CH2OH) (L3)), and prepared three new [Fe2Co2] complexes, {[(Tp*)Fe(CN)(3)Co(L)(2)](2)[ClO4](2))center dot Sol (1, L = L1, Sol = 4MeCN center dot 2H(2)O; 2, L = L2, Sol = 3MeCN; 3, L = L3, Sol = 4MeOH; Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate). X-ray crystallography studies revealed that all the complexes share similar cyanide-bridged [Fe2Co2] square compositions except for the different substituted groups of L ligands, which led to the clearly evidenced intercluster hydrogen bonds between the neighbouring hydroxyl groups in 2 and 3. As a result, 1 remained in the paramagnetic [(Fe2CO2II,HS)-C-III,LS] state over the whole temperature range, while 2 and 3 showed complete ETCST behaviour with the transition temperatures (T-1/2) being 221 and 294 K, respectively.
