Changing the length of the side chains in a series of cobalt complexes changed the melting temperature and allowed the synchronicity of the valence tautomerism and solid–liquid transition to be controlled. The three complexes exhibit distinct macroscopic transitions from the crystalline phase to violet, blueish, or green liquids; this is represented in the figure by the degree of hand-holding between the two children jumping in the lavender field.
