Abstract
The organometallic cations [(eta (5)-C5H5)(2)Co](+) and [(eta (5)-C5H5)(2)F e](+) are fully miscible in the solid state and form the mixed crystalline material [(eta (5)-C5H5)(2)CoxFe1-x][PF6], which undergoes two fully revers ible phase transitions that can be tuned by varying the molar ratio of the two cations; the water-soluble organometallic salt thus possesses the behav iour of a molecular alloy.
