Hexakis-adducts of [60]fullerene as molecular scaffolds of polynuclear spin-crossover molecules
2021
A family of hexakis-substituted [60]fullerene adducts endowed with the well-known tridentate 2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (bpp) ligand for spin-crossover (SCO) systems has been designed and synthesized. It has been experimentally and theoretically demonstrated that these molecular scaffolds are able to form polynuclear SCO complexes in solution. UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy studies have allowed monitoring of the formation of up to six Fe(ii)–bpp SCO complexes. In addition, DFT calculations have been performed to model the different complexation environments and simulate their electronic properties. The complexes retain SCO properties in the solid state exhibiting both thermal- and …
Spin Crossover Phenomenon in Nanocrystals and Nanoparticles of [Fe(3-Fpy)2M(CN)4] (MII = Ni, Pd, Pt) Two-Dimensional Coordination Polymers
2010
The two-dimensional spin crossover (SCO) polymers [Fe(3-Fpy)2M(CN)4] (MII = Ni(1), Pd(2), Pt(3)) were nanostructured in the form of nanocrystals and nanoparticles, and their chemical, structural, and physical characterization was carried out using different experimental methods (powder X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements, Mossbauer and infrared spectroscopy, transmission and scanning electronic microscopy, etc.). Surfactant-free nanocrystals of average dimensions 400 × 400 × 30 nm (1a, 1a*, 2a, 3a) were synthesized from water in oil microemulsions (w/o) while nanoparticles of average size 200 × 100, 100 × 60, and 70 × 30 nm were obtained in poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) c…
The elastic interaction of high-spin and low-spin complex molecules in spin-crossover compounds
1988
Several transition metal compounds show a transition from the low-spin (LS) to the high-spin (HS) electronic state with increasing temperature. The cooperative nature of the transition is usually parametrised by an interaction constant Gamma , the origin of which is still under discussion. In the frame of the lattice expansion mode, the interaction Gamma is attributed to the elastic interaction between the spin-changing ions as a result of the deformation of the crystal accompanying the transition. The authors calculate the complete elastic energy originating from the so-called image pressure in closed form by considering the crystal as an isotropic homogeneous elastic medium with the spin-…
Photo-switching spin pairs—synergy between LIESST effect and magnetic interaction in an iron(ii) binuclear spin-crossover compound
2001
The decrease of the magnetic response under irradiation at very low temperature was interpreted as a new evidence of synergy between magnetic interaction and spin transition in an iron(II) binuclear SC compound. Real Cabezos, Jose Antonio, Jose.A.Real@uv.es
Spin-crossover complex encapsulation within a magnetic metal-organic framework.
2016
The solid-state incorporation of a mononuclear iron(III) complex within the pores of a magnetic 3D metal–organic framework (MOF) in a single crystal to single crystal process leads to the formation of a new hybrid material showing both a guest-dependent long-range magnetic ordering and a spin-crossover (SCO) behaviour.
Enhanced bistability by guest inclusion in Fe(ii) spin crossover porous coordination polymers
2012
Inclusion of thiourea guest molecules in the tridimensional spin crossover porous coordination polymers {[Fe(pyrazine)[M(CN)(4)]} (M = Pd, Pt) leads to novel clathrates exhibiting unprecedented large thermal hysteresis loops of ca. 60 K wide centered near room temperature.
Epitaxial Thin-Film vs Single Crystal Growth of 2D Hofmann-Type Iron(II) Materials: A Comparative Assessment of their Bi-Stable Spin Crossover Proper…
2020
Integration of the ON-OFF cooperative spin crossover (SCO) properties of FeII coordination polymers as components of electronic and/or spintronic devices is currently an area of great interest for potential applications. This requires the selection and growth of thin films of the appropriate material onto selected substrates. In this context, two new series of cooperative SCO two-dimensional FeII coordination polymers of the Hofmann-type formulated {FeII(Pym)2[MII(CN)4]·xH2O}n and {FeII(Isoq)2[MII(CN)4]}n (Pym = pyrimidine, Isoq = isoquinoline; MII = Ni, Pd, Pt) have been synthesized, characterized, and the corresponding Pt derivatives selected for fabrication of thin films by liquid-phase …
Reversible guest-induced gate-opening with multiplex spin crossover responses in two-dimensional Hofmann clathrates.
2021
Spin crossover (SCO) compounds are very attractive types of switchable materials due to their potential applications in memory devices, actuators or chemical sensors. Rational chemical tailoring of these switchable compounds is key for achieving new functionalities in synergy with the spin state change. However, the lack of precise structural information required to understand the chemical principles that control the SCO response with external stimuli may eventually hinder further development of spin switching-based applications. In this work, the functionalization with an amine group in the two-dimensional (2D) SCO compound {Fe(5-NH2Pym)2[MII(CN)4]} (1M, 5-NH2Pym = 5-aminopyrimidine, MII =…
Wavelength selective light-induced magnetic effects in the binuclear spin crossover compound{[Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2(bpym)}
2007
Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and magnetic susceptibility measurements under light irradiation, the selective light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) and the reversible-LIESST effect have been evidenced and studied in depth in the binuclear spin crossover compound {[Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2bpym}. In this system, each magnetic site can switch from low spin (LS) to high spin (HS), so that three states exist, namely, the LS-LS, HS-LS, and HS-HS. All these techniques shine a new light on the high phototunability of this system. In addition to the direct photoswitching from the LS-LS to the HS-LS or to the HS-HS state, here we show that photoinduced switching…
Design of Bistable Gold@Spin‐Crossover Core–Shell Nanoparticles Showing Large Electrical Responses for the Spin Switching
2019
<p>A simple protocol to prepare core-shell gold@spin-crossover (Au@SCO) nanoparticles (NPs) based on the 1D spin-crossover [Fe(Htrz)<sub>2</sub>(trz)](BF<sub>4</sub>) coordination polymer is reported. The synthesis relies on a two-step approach consisting on a partial surface ligand substitution of the citrate-stabilized Au NPs followed by the controlled growth of a very thin layer of the SCO polymer. As a result, colloidally stable core@shell spherical NPs of 19 nm in size exhibiting a narrow distribution in sizes have been obtained, revealing a switchable SCOshell of <i>ca.</i>4 nm. Temperature-dependent charge transport measurements of an electri…
