Achieving high proton conductivity in spin‐crossover (SCO) compounds is promising for the development of magnetoelectric and spintronics devices. In this work we designed two spin‐crossover and proton‐conductive bifunctional Co(II) compounds, [Co(Pyrimidine‐terpy)2](BF4)2⋅2H2O (1⋅2H2O; Pyrimidine‐te...
