Nanoparticles of the compound [Fe(Htrz)2trz]BF4 are shown to have a rod shape. Their size is found to control the width of the thermal hysteresis displayed in the spin crossover of this material, while the removal of surfactant results systematically in a reduction of the hysteresis width, by up to 16 K, both effects being original and important for potential applications.
