Model: 2015, 55, 1844], offering the first experimental validation of a functional transition-metal complex predicted by such in silico molecular design methods. Additional quantum chemical calculations offer, together with the crystal structure analysis, insight into the role of spin-passive structural components. A thermodynamic analysis based on an Ising-like mean field model (Slichter-Drickammer approximation) provides estimates of the enthalpy, entropy and cooperativity of the crossover between the high and low spin states.
