Spin doctor : A mononuclear ferric complex [Fe(H‐5‐Br‐thsa)(5‐Br‐thsa)] ⋅ H 2 O ( 1 ) (H 2 ‐5‐Br‐thsa=5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide) was synthesized and its magnetic properties and structure were investigated by DFT calculations. This complex shows unprecedented reversible, six/five‐step spin‐crossover behavior accompanied by symmetry breaking. More importantly, each step in the multi‐step transition was successfully characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.
