abstract = {The search for new efficient materials and refrigeration
mechanisms is a key challenge toreplace the conventional
vapor compression technology. An attractive alternative
technologyuses the caloric refrigeration cycle, which is
based on the adiabatic temperature and isothermalentropy
change upon tuning an external parameter such as pressure,
electric field or magneticfield. Recently, spin crossover
(SCO) compounds have been recognized as promising
candidates,which exhibit large barocaloric effects: Large
isothermal entropy changes have been reportedfor some of
these SCO compounds at fairly low hydrostatic pressures (<
1.2 GPa) [1]. In SCOcomplexes the central metal ion switches
between a low spin (LS) state at low temperature /high
pressure and a high spin (HS) state at high temperature /
low pressure. The LS to HStransition involves an increase of
the spin entropy, but a larger part of the entropy
changeoriginates from changes in the intramolecular
vibrations [2].In this work, we report on magnetization
measurements and single crystal synchrotronradiation
diffraction on SCO complexes consisting of Fe+2 as a central
ion bound to six nitrogenatoms. Our focus is
Fe(PM-Bia)2(NCS)2, PM-Bia =
(N-(2′-pyridylmethylene)-4-amino-biphenyl),which
crystallizes in two polymorphs depending on thesynthesis
route. Polymorph P1 crystallizes orthorhombic(Pccn) and
undergoes an abrupt spin transition around 170 K.Polymorph
P2 crystallizes monoclinic (P21/c) and undergoes agradual
spin transition around 200 K [3].From the structural data,
we extracted the temperaturedependence of the Fe-N distances
(Figure 1), which can thenbe used to determine the high spin
fraction. From the fitting ofthe temperature dependence of
the high spin fraction, weobtained the change in entropy
(ΔS), the change in enthalpy(ΔH), and the cooperativity
(Г). The values obtained for ΔS andΔH on the basis of the
structural data are substantiallydifferent from the values
of the entropy as deduced from heatcapacity measurements
[4]. The width of the transition region,differs strongly
between the two polymorphs. This indicatesthe importance of
intermolecular interactions for the spintransitions in both
polymorphs.},
