Supramolecular structural transformations involving coordination polymers (CP) in the crystalline state form an promising body of research, not only because they can provide direct proof which helps understand topochemical reactions, but also due to the accompanied modulation of physical/chemical properties, such as magnetic, optical, and chiral behavior, which helps gain insights into the correlation between structural and magnetic properties. In contrast to the relatively common crystal transformation triggered solely by guest removal/inclusion,[1, 2] transformation involving drastic reorganization of the network connectivity, such as change of interpenetration/dimensionality and special atom movements, is more likely to provide new phases with totally different properties thus is more fascinating. However, rare examples have been reported involving such transformations,[3] mainly due to the difficulty to maintain crystallinity after a large structural rearrangement, and thus further investigations on the subsequent physical/chemical property changes are more scarce.Spin-crossover (SCO) materials have potential applications as molecular memories, molecular switches, molecular sensors, data storage, and display devices due to their spin transitions (STs) between high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) states in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, or light.[4, 5] Incorporation of SCO building blocks in a structural changeable coordination polymer will be quite intriguing as the structural transformation process is very likely to cause dramatic change of SCO behaviors. Herein we report a thermal-driven supramolecular isomerization in the two-dimensional (2D) FeII/2, 4-Hbpt system (2, 4-Hbpt= 3-(2-pyridyl)-5-(4-pyridyl)-1, 2, 4-triazole) SCO system with a dramatic structural transformation from cis-[FeIIACHTUNGTRENNUNG (2, 4-bpt) 2]· 4 H2O (1) to trans-[FeIIACHTUNGTRENNUNG (2, 4-bpt) 2](2). Several major changes occur during the transformation: 1) the coordination configurations of 2, 4-bpt ligands to the metal
