Spin-crossover (SCO) materials exhibit remarkable potential as bistable switches in
molecular devices. However, the spin transition temperatures (T c) of known compounds are …

This article surveys the relationship between ligand type, coordination geometry and metal
spin state in complexes of iron and other metal ions. Compounds and materials containing …

Little is known about the mechanisms behind the bistability (memory) of molecular spin
transition compounds over broad temperature ranges (> 100 K). To address this point, we …

Exploring the chemical space of a given ligand aiming to modulate its ligand field strength is
a versatile strategy for the fine-tuning of physical properties such as the transition …

In the present study, four new mixed-ligand copper (II) complexes with 5-benzyltetrazole
(HL) and polypyridine ligands (phen–1, 10-phenanthroline, dmphen–4, 7-dimethyl-1, 10 …

The results of synthesis and study of magnetically-active iron (II) complexes with
polynitrogen heterocyclic ligands and outer-sphere boron cluster anions have been …

Spin-crossover (SCO) active transition metal complexes are a class of switchable molecular
materials. Such complexes undergo hysteretic high-spin (HS) to low-spin (LS) transition, and …

In this work, a three-stage and easily scalable synthesis of 2, 6-dicyano-4-pyrone (overall
yield of 45%) as a new convenient building block has been developed from diethyl …

The temperature of the solution-phase spin-crossover equilibrium in iron (II) complexes of 4-
alkylsulfanyl-2, 6-di {pyrazol-1-yl} pyridine (bppSR) complexes depends strongly on the …

Iron (II) can show a very rich coordination chemistry with concomitant modulation of its
properties as promising functional materials. Metalation of the neutral tridentate nitrogen …
