The room-temperature spin-crossover iron(II) complex Fe(1-bpp-COOC$_2$H$_5$)$_2$(BF$_4$)$_2$CH$_3$CN exhibits reversible switching between the low-spin and high-spin states. The observation of coexisting spin domains within polycrystalline samples of Fe(1-bpp-COOC$_2$H$_25$)$_2$(BF$_4$)$_2$CH$_3$CN allows for real-time video recording of domain boundary propagation under an optical microscope. Quantitative analysis of …
