Multiple switchable physical properties have been demonstrated in one single niccolite structural metal–organic framework, [(CH3CH2)2NH2][FeIIIFeII(HCOO)6] (1), including (i) a reversible ferroelastic phase transition triggered by freezing the disordered (CH3CH2)2NH2+ cations, (ii) a thermally switc...
