Emergent superconductivity in an iron-based honeycomb lattice initiated by pressure-driven spin-crossover

Up to now, all iron-based high-T c superconductors contain a square iron lattice. Here, Wang et al. report the observation of superconductivity in an iron honeycomb lattice accompanied with pressure-driven spin-crossover, in-plane lattice collapse and insulator-metal transition.
