Abstract

We report a giant barocaloric effect in the spin-crossover compound [Fe(hyptrz)3]A2·H2O with hyptzr=4-(3′-hydroxypropyl)-1,2,4-triazole and A=4-chlorobenzenesulfonate. The origin of the giant barocaloric effect comes from the strong coupling between the lattice vibration and the electronic states t2g6(S=0) and (t2g4eg2)(S=2) of low and high spin in Fe+2N6 cores, respectively. Our theoretical and indirect experimental results lead to the barocaloric potential ΔST56Jkg1K1 and ΔTad10K, upon pressure changes ΔP=0.9 kbar, which can easily be obtained experimentally. The giant barocaloric in [Fe(hyptrz)3]A2·H2O leads to colossal refrigerant capacity of RC=1223Jkg1 in a wide temperature span around (T=273K), the freezing temperature of the water.
