An investigation of photo- and pressure-induced effects in a pair of isostructural two-dimensional spin-crossover framework materials

2014

International audience; Two new isostructural iron(II) spin-crossover (SCO) framework (SCOF) materials of the type [Fe(dpms)2 (NCX)2 ] (dpms=4,4'-dipyridylmethyl sulfide; X=S (SCOF-6(S)), X=Se (SCOF-6(Se))) have been synthesized. The 2D framework materials consist of undulating and interpenetrated rhomboid (4,4) nets. SCOF-6(S) displays an incomplete SCO transition with only approximately 30 % conversion of high-spin (HS) to low-spin iron(II) sites over the temperature range 300-4 K (T1/2 =75 K). In contrast, the NCSe(-) analogue, SCOF-6(Se), displays a complete SCO transition (T1/2 =135 K). Photomagnetic characterizations reveal quantitative light- induced excited spin-state trapping (LIES…

Structural, photophysical and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes based on the dipicolylamino-chloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine ligand

2015

International audience; The ligand 3-chloro-6-dipicolylamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Cl-TTZ-dipica) 1, prepared by the direct reaction between 3,6-dichloro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and di(2-picolyl)-amine, afforded a series of four neutral transition metal complexes formulated as [Cl-TTZ-dipica-MCl2]2, with M = Zn(II), Cd(II), Mn(II) and Co(II), when reacted with the corresponding metal chlorides. The dinuclear structure of the isostructural complexes was disclosed by single crystal X-ray analysis, clearly indicating the formation of [MII–(μ-Cl)2MII] motifs and the involvement of the amino nitrogen atom in semi-coordination with the metal centers, thus leading to distorted octahedral coordination geome…

A nickel complex incorporating an N2 O ligand with a rare η2 -N,N'-coordination mode was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography, as well as by IR and solid-state NMR spectroscopy augmented by 15 N-labeling experiments. The isoelectronic nickel CO2 complex reported for comparison features a very similar solid-state structure. Computational studies revealed that η2 -N2 O binds to nickel slightly stronger than η2 -CO2 in this case, and comparably to or slightly stronger than η2 -CO2 to transition metals in general. Comparable transition-state energies for the formation of isomeric η2 -N,N'- and η2 -N,O-complexes, and a negligible activation barrier for the decomposition of the lat…

Role of the Open-Shell Character on the Pressure-Induced Conductivity of an Organic Donor-Acceptor Radical Dyad

2018

Single‐component conductors based on neutral organic radicals have received a lot of attention due to the possibility that the unpaired electron can serve as a charge carrier without the need of a previous doping process. Although most of these systems are based on delocalized planar radicals, we present here a nonplanar and spin localized radical based on a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) moiety, linked to a perchlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) radical by a conjugated bridge, which exhibits a semiconducting behavior upon application of high pressure. The synthesis, electronic properties, and crystal structure of this neutral radical TTF‐Ph‐PTM derivative (1) are reported and implications of its crystal…

Enhancement of the Intermolecular Magnetic Exchange through Halogen···Halogen interactions in Bisadeninium Rhenium(IV) Salts

2017

Two novel ReIV salts of general formula [H2ade]2[ReIVX6]X2·4H2O [H2ade2+ = 9H-adenine-1,7-diium; X = Cl(1) and Br(2)] have been synthesized and magneto-structurally characterized. 1 and 2 are isostructural salts that crystallize in the orthorhombic system with space group Fdd2. Both compounds are made up of discrete mononuclear [ReIVX6]2- and X- anions and doubly protonated adenine cations. The six-coordinate rhenium(IV) ion is bonded to six halide ligands [X = Cl (1) and Br (2)] in an octahedral geometry. Short intermolecular ReIV−X···X−ReIV interactions, as well as ReIV−X···H−N(H2ade) and ReIV−X···H−Ow hydrogen bonds, are present in the crystal lattice of 1 and 2. Magnetic suscep-tibility…

Heterobimetallic Oxalate‐Bridged M II Re IV (M = Zn, Cu, Ni, Co and Mn) Complexes Incorporating Bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)methane: Synthesis and M…

2016

Five oxalato-bridged heterobimetallic compounds of general formula [ReCl4(ox)M(bdmpzm)2].2MeCN [ox = oxalate, bdmpzm = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane and M = Zn (1),Cu (2), Ni (3), Co (4) and Mn (5)] have been successfully synthesized in self-assembly reactions of the [ReCl4(ox)]2- metalloligand with the coordinatively unsaturated [M(bdmpzm)2]2+ complex generated in situ by the reaction of the suitable metal(II) salt with the bdmpzm ligand. 1-5 are isostructural compounds whose crystal structures consist of neutral heterodinuclear [ReCl4(ox)M(bdmpzm)2] units and free acetonitrile molecules. The magnetic properties of 1-5 were investigated in the temperature range 2.0-300 K. The nature…

Highly Anisotropic Rhenium(IV) Complexes: New Examples of Mononuclear Single-Molecule Magnets

2013

The rhenium(IV) complex (NBu4)2[ReBr4(ox)] (1) (ox = oxalate and NBu4(+) = tetra-n-butylammonium cation) has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. The structure is made up of discrete [ReBr4(ox)](2-) anions and bulky NBu4(+) cations. Each [ReBr4(ox)](2-) anion is surrounded by six NBu4(+) cations, which preclude any significant intermolecular contact between the anionic entities, the shortest rhenium···rhenium distance being 9.373(1) Å. Variable temperature dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements and field-dependent magnetization experiments on polycrystalline samples of 1 reveal the occurrence of highly anisotropic magnetically isolated Re(IV) cent…

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of two oxalato-bridged dimetallic trinuclear complexes combined with a polar cation

2010

Two isostructural heterometallic trinuclear oxalato-bridged complexes of formula C(4)[MCr(2)(ox)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·nH(2)O (C(+) = 4-aminopyridinium; ox(2-) = oxalate dianion; M(2+) = Mn(2+), n = 3, 1; M(2+) = Co(2+), n = 3.25, 2) have been synthesized by using direct self-assembly methods combining C(3)[Cr(ox)(3)] and the chloride salts of the corresponding metal ion. The crystal structures of both compounds have been resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They crystallize in the C2/c space group [a = 11.5113(15) Å, b = 20.250(3) Å, c = 21.810(4) Å, beta = 100.447(10) degrees, V = 5161.6(3) Å(3), and Z = 4 for 1, and a = 11.4334(16) Å, b = 20.243(2) Å, c = 21.805(3) Å, beta = 101.113(9) …

The Making of the New European Wind Atlas - Part 2: production and evaluation

2020

This is the second of two papers that document the creation of the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA). In Part 1, we described the sensitivity experiments and accompanying evaluation done to arrive at the final mesoscale model setup used to produce the mesoscale wind atlas. In this paper, Part 2, we document how we made the final wind atlas product, covering both the production of the mesoscale climatology generated with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the microscale climatology generated with the Wind Atlas Analysis and Applications Program (WAsP). The paper includes a detailed description of the technical and practical aspects that went into running the mesoscale simulati…

The making of the New European Wind Atlas - Part 1: Model sensitivity

2020

This is the first of two papers that document the creation of the New European Wind Atlas (NEWA). It describes the sensitivity analysis and evaluation procedures that formed the basis for choosing the final setup of the mesoscale model simulations of the wind atlas. The suitable combination of model setup and parameterizations, bound by practical constraints, was found for simulating the climatology of the wind field at turbine-relevant heights with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Initial WRF model sensitivity experiments compared the wind climate generated by using two commonly used planetary boundary layer schemes and were carried out over several regions in Europe. They…
