Nanocrystals of the three‐dimensional , spin‐crossover, porous coordination framework [Fe(pz)Pt(CN) 4 ]⋅ n  H 2 O (pz=pyrazine; n ≤2.5) have been synthesized from water‐in‐oil microemulsions. The surfactant‐free nanocrystals readily desorb water and the resulting anhydrous compounds exhibit thermally induced electronic bistability accompanied by a pronounced color change (see picture; HS=high spin, LS=low spin) close to room temperature.
