That the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique allows molecules to pack and orient in a well‐defined fashion along a surface lends it suitability for preparing films of compounds with useful magnetic properties. Here is reported the synthesis of a semi‐fluorinated iron complex (see Figure) that is extremely stable in the LB film, and whose spin crossover process was able to be followed with a SQUID susceptometer.
