The observed temperature dependant high spin/low spin (HS/LS) ratios of [FeL(2)](2+) cations in these lattices, exhibiting `reverse spin cross-over' measured unequivocally by Mssbauer, have been interpreted as resulting from differing amount of `void space' in the lattice, a measure of the ease of lattice dynamics originating from ligand L. Differential scanning calorimetric data points this HS/LS transition to order-disorder type of second order phase transitions. While trying to test this lattice dynamics controlled property of [FeL(2)](2+) cations an unusual behavior of cocrystallization of two planar complex anions of the same type in two different oxidation states, viz. [Ni(mnt)(2)](2) and [Ni(mnt)(2)] , was observed in [FeL(2)](2+) [Ni(mnt(2))](3), supported by crystallography, ESCA chemical shifts of Ni 2p(3/2) and EPR. The susceptibility data in combination with ESCA chemical shifts of S 2p(3/2) and Ni 2p(3/2) on all the compounds reveal the importance of charge transfer between the two counter ions.
