Unravelling the chemical design of spin-crossover nanoparticles based on iron(ii)–triazole coordination polymers: towards a control of the spin trans…
2015
A systematic study of the key synthetic parameters that control the growth of spin-crossover (SCO) nanoparticles (NPs) using the reverse micelle technique has been undertaken in the system [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)·H2O, (Htrz = 1,2,4-triazole). This has permitted us to modulate the physical properties of the NPs in a controlled and reproducible manner. In particular, a control over the size of the NPs (in the range 4 to 16 nm) has been achieved by varying the water to surfactant molar ratio. The consequences of this size variation on the cooperativity of the spin transition are discussed. Finally, this approach has been extended to the chemical alloy [Fe(Htrz)2.95(NH2trz)0.05](ClO4)2 in order t…
A Combined Top-Down/Bottom-Up Approach for the Nanoscale Patterning of Spin-Crossover Coordination Polymers
2007
Molecular spin-crossover complexes of 3d–3d transitionmetal ions have been the focus of many researchers’ work because of their fascinating properties associated with the bistability of their electronic states (high spin (HS) or low spin (LS)). Although the origin of the spin-crossover phenomenon is purely molecular, the macroscopic behavior of these systems in the solid state is strongly determined by the interactions, of mainly elastic origin, between the transition-metal ions. Recently, remarkable progress has been made in the area of spin-crossover complexes with infinite one-, two-, or three-dimensional (1D, 2D, 3D) networks, the so-called coordination polymers. The purpose of this app…
Inside Front Cover: A Combined Top-Down/Bottom-Up Approach for the Nanoscale Patterning of Spin-Crossover Coordination Polymers (Adv. Mater. 16/2007)
2007
The background scanning electron microscopy image shows nanometric patterns of the 3D spin crossover coordination polymer Fe(pyrazine)[Pt(CN)4] (see schematic structure in the circle), which have been fabricated using a combination of lift-off and multilayer sequential assembly methods. These patterns, reported by Gabor Molnar, Azzedine Bousseksou, and co-workers on p. 2163, exhibit a bistability of their electronic states (1A1 ⇌ 5T2), and thus represent a novel platform for a wide array of potential applications.
Electrical Voltage Control of the Pressure-Induced Spin Transition at Room Temperature in the Microporous 3D Polymer [Fe(pz)Pt(CN)4]
2019
Fine control and direct monitoring of the spin crossover properties driven by pressure at room temperature are reported for the porous three-dimensional coordination polymer {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)4]} by us...
Isostructural compartmentalized spin-crossover coordination polymers for gas confinement
2016
[EN] Here we present two FeII coordination polymers that possess discrete compartments suitable for CO2 physisorption despite the lack of permanent channels. The two crystalline materials, of general formula [Fe(btzbp)3](X)2 (X = ClO4 or BF4), present voids of ca. 250 Å3, which each can accommodate up to two CO2 molecules. The abrupt spin transition can be modified upon CO2 sorption, and different magnetic behaviour is observed depending on the number of molecules sorbed.
Iron(II) Metallomesogens Exhibiting Coupled Spin State and Liquid Crystal Phase Transitions near Room Temperature
2008
Reaction of the ligand 2,2,2-tris(2-aza-3-((5-akloxy)(6-methyl)(2-pyridyl))prop-2-enyl)ethane (C n -tameMe) with Fe(X) 2 . sH 2 O salts afforded a series of spin crossover metallomesogens with general formula [Fe(C n -tame)](X) 2 . sH 2 O (s ≥ 0), with n = 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, or 20 and X =ClO 4 - or BF 4 -. Single crystal X-ray measurements have been performed on the [Fe(C 6 -tameMe)](ClO 4 ) 2 (C 6 -1) derivative at 100 K. The complex C 6 -1 crystallizes in the triclinic system and adopts the Pbca space group. The iron(II) ion is in a distorted octahedral environment shaped by three imine and three pyridine nitrogen atoms of the C n -tameMe ligand. The average Fe-N im and Fe-N py bo…
Supramolecular isomerism in spin crossover networks with aurophilic interactions

Assembly of FeII, 3-cyanopyridine and [Au(CN)2]– affords, in one-pot reaction, three coordination polymers that represent a genuine example of supramolecular isomerism with strong influence in the spin crossover regime of the FeII ions. Real Cabezos, Jose Antonio, Jose.A.Real@uv.es
Deposition and production of highly reproducible hybrid Cu[(tBu)4Pc]-polystyrene thin layers via spin casting
2012
This study focuses on the determination of a protocol for the production of a hybrid material composed of a polymer and a macrocyclic complex, namely polystyrene and a tetra-tert-butyl-copper phthalocyanine (Cu[(tBu)4Pc]), in order to obtain a layer thickness of about 100 nm and a controlled porosity in a highly reproducible way. Several methods were implemented and their reproducibility was evaluated through elements of characterization such as optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Superexchange pathways in oxovanadium(IV) phosphates
1992
Abstract Oxovanadium(IV) phosphates show a diversity of magnetic behaviours that cannot be deduced from their respective structural features only. In part, this is due to the involvement of phosphate bridges in the spin transfer between V(IV) centres, and 31P solid state nuclear magnetic resonance becomes a key tool in determining the exchange mechanisms. The magnetic properties of a wide set of vanadium(IV) containing derivatives can be explained by realizing that a good overlap of the magnetic orbits may be achieved through paths involving phosphorus d orbitals.
Load-collapse-release cascades of amphiphilic guest molecules in charged dendronized polymers through spatial separation of noncovalent forces.
2012
The ability to pack guest molecules into charged dendronized polymers (denpols) and the possibility to release these guest molecules from subsequently densely aggregated denpols in a load-collapse-release cascade is described. Charged denpols, which constitute molecular objects with a persistent, well-defined envelope and interior, are capable of incorporating large amounts of amphiphilic guest molecules. Simultaneously, multivalent ions can coordinate to the surfaces of charged denpols, leading to counterion-induced aggregation of the already guest-loaded host structures. Thus, although the local guest concentration in denpol-based molecular transport might already be initially high due to…
