Synthesis and Characterisation of a New Series of Bistable Iron(II) Spin-Crossover 2D Metal-Organic Frameworks

2009

Twelve coordination polymers with formula {Fe(3-Xpy)(2)[M(II)(CN)(4)]} (M(II): Ni, Pd, Pt; X: F, Cl, Br, I; py: pyridine) have been synthesised, and their crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal or powder X-ray analysis. All of the fluoro and iodo compounds, as well as the chloro derivative in which M(II) is Pt, crystallise in the monoclinic C2/m space group, whereas the rest of the chloro and all of the bromo derivatives crystallise in the orthorhombic Pnc2 space group. In all cases, the iron(II) atom resides in a pseudo-octahedral [FeN(6)] coordination core, with similar bond lengths and angles in the various derivatives. The major difference between the two kinds of str…

Electronic, vibrational, and structural properties of a spin-crossover catecholato-iron system in the solid state: theoretical study of the electroni…

2005

As a functional model of the catechol dioxygenases, [(TPA)Fe(Cat)]BPh4 (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and Cat = catecholate dianion) exhibits the purple-blue coloration indicative of some charge transfer within the ground state. In contrast to a number of high-spin bioinspired systems, it was previously shown that, in the solid state, [(TPA)Fe(Cat)]BPh4 undergoes a two-step S = 1/2 = S = 5/2 spin-crossover. Therefore, the electronic and vibrational characteristics of this compound were investigated in the solid state by UV/Vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopies over the temperature range of the transition. This allowed the charge-transfer transitions of the low-spin (LS) form …

Enhanced porosity in a new 3D Hofmann-like network exhibiting humidity sensitive cooperative spin transitions at room temperature

2011

The porous coordination polymers (PCPs) of general formula {Fe(bpac)[M(CN)4]}·guest (M = Pt, Pd) exhibit larger channels than previously synthesised 3D-Hofmann-like PCP. The channels are partially occupied by uncoordinated guest bpac ligands and labile H2O molecules. These PCPs exhibit very scarce cooperative spin crossover behaviour around room temperature with a large hysteresis loop (up to 49 K) and also display sensitivity to humidity and guest molecules. The inclusion of bpac molecules in the 3D network can be avoided by adding competitive volatile molecules during the crystallization process, affording the guest-free material. The spin crossover behavior of different guest and guest-f…

Eradicating Mosquitoes using Translocations: a First Field Experiment

1972

THEORETICAL considerations have led to the assumption that chromosomal translocations with ensuing semisterility could be used to control pests1–3. Inversions could have the same effect in animals and plants in which crossing over occurs in both sexes4. Many translocations of different type and with various degrees of sterility have been produced in the mosquito Culex pipiens5–8. Preliminary laboratory experiments with these translocations have shown that a cage population can be diminished and finally exterminated after a few generations by the release of translocation heterozygotes into the population9.

Chiral spin crossover nanoparticles and gels with switchable circular dichroism

2015

Spin crossover complexes represent spectacular examples of molecular switchable materials. We describe a new approach towards homochiral coordination nanoparticles of [Fe(NH2trz)3](L-CSA)2 (NH2trz = 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole, L-CSA = L-camphorsulfonate) that display an abrupt switch of chiral properties associated with a cooperative spin transition. This is an original method that generates stable and additive-free colloidal solutions of nanoparticles with a spin transition around room temperature. The introduction of a chiral anion to the coordination framework makes these nanoparticles display specific chiro-optical (circular dichroism) properties that are different in high and low spin stat…

Crossover als Inszenierungsstrategie

2020

Wie grenzt sich klassische Musik von Popmusik ab? Und welche Rolle spielen dabei performative Inszenierungsstrategien? Mit einem praxeologischen Ansatz arbeitet Clara-Franziska Petry Inszenierungsstrategien als konstituierende Prozesse für Musikgenres heraus und entwirft eine Aufführungsanalyse von Stars. Im Zentrum stehen dabei sogenannte Crossover-Phänomene, die Genregrenzen generell aufbrechen. Die Inszenierungstechniken von Authentizität, Virtuosität, Popularität, Kulturalität, Korporalität und Lokalität ermöglichen einen Vergleich von E- und U-Musik, der nicht auf der Ebene des musikalischen Materials, sondern auf performativer Ebene basiert.

Orientation matters

2008

The optimal communication spanning tree (OCST) problem is a well known $\mathcal{NP}$-hard combinatorial optimization problem which seeks a spanning tree that satisfies all given communication requirements for minimal total costs. It has been shown that optimal solutions of OCST problems are biased towards the much simpler minimum spanning tree (MST) problem. Therefore, problem-specific representations for EAs like heuristic variants of edge-sets that are biased towards MSTs show high performance.In this paper, additional properties of optimal solutions for Euclidean variants of OCST problems are studied. Experimental results show that not only edges in optimal trees are biased towards low-…

From magnetic to nonlinear optical switches in spin-crossover complexes

ISI Document Delivery No.: 109TF Times Cited: 0 Cited Reference Count: 173 Lacroix, Pascal G. Malfant, Isabelle Real, Jose-Antonio Rodriguez, Vincent Wiley-v c h verlag gmbh Weinheim Si; Various attempts to combine magnetic and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties in a molecule are reviewed, with a special focus on the possibility of interplay between the magnetic component and the quadratic (proportional to E-2) NLO response. This multidisciplinary research leads to the idea of spin-crossover-induced (SCO-induced) NLO switching and is evaluated at the synthetic level, with insights provided by computational chemistry. The need for nontraditional experimental setups to record NLO properties i…
