N2 - This study presents a new mononuclear complex (1) of the form [FeL](BF4)2, incorporating the thiazolylimine donor moiety, which was found to exhibit a high-temperature spin-transition. The effect of scan rate was investigated, with magnetic susceptibility being measured at 4, 2, and 1 K min−1. The magnetic susceptibility results were confirmed by variable temperature X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (100, 270, 400, and 500 K) and single crystal X-ray diffraction (150 and 400 K) experiments. A rare example of a high-temperature (400 K) single crystal structure of 1 has been reported. The high-spin fraction was calculated indirectly from XPS data, presenting a method for analyzing the spin-state in the surface layers of spin-crossover materials.
