Periodic and aperiodic spin-state concentration waves form during “Devil's staircase”-type spin-crossover in a new bimetallic 2D coordination polymer {Fe[(Hg(SCN)3)2](4,4′-bipy)2}n. In their Communication on page 8675 ff., J. A. Real, E. Collet et al. describe the appearance of spin-state concentration waves between long-range spatially ordered structures of low- and high-spin states during multistep spin-crossover.
