The influence of the counteranion on the structure and the spin-transition properties of original 1D bis(tetrazole) Fe(II) systems, namely [Fe(btzx)(3)]X(2) (X=PF(6) (-) (1), CF(3)SO(3) (-) (2) and ClO(4) (-) (3); btzx=m-xylylenebis(tetrazole)) is studied. The X-ray crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 are described in detail. These structures present a solvent molecule encapsulated within pockets formed by btzx ligands along the 1D coordination chains. Compound 2 is shown to be the first structurally characterised alternating HS-LS 1D spin-transition system (HS=high spin, LS=low spin). The magnetic susceptibility measurements of all three compounds are compared. The degree of completion and the transition temperature are both drastically influenced by the counterion used, while surprisingly, the cooperative nature of the transition is not affected by the choice of counterion. Compounds 1 and 2 are further studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and their distinct LIESST properties are compared.

Spin-crossover (SCO) at room temperature is a pivotal goal within the field of molecular magnetism. Herein, we attempt to assemble Fe SCO complexes using a substituted Hqsal ligand, HL (-(8-quinolyl)-2,3-dihydroxybenzaldimine). Two complexes [Fe(HL)]·X·2MeCN (X = BF for 1 and X = ClO for 2) were obtained and characterized.

Article Synopsis
- Stimuli-responsive switchable molecules have great potential as magnetic materials for functional devices, but creating complexes with controlled switchability is challenging due to sensitivity to lattice interactions.
- The study presents a tailored [FeCo] square complex that incorporates hydrogen bonding interactions, leading to significant changes in magnetic properties through a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation.
- Notably, the complex exhibits multi-responsive properties with a unique thermal behavior, allowing for controlled switchability, and insights are provided for designing advanced materials for applications in actuators and sensors.

Dynamic molecules with tunable chemical and physical properties in response to external stimuli hold great potential for applications in various fields such as information storage, smart molecular machines, and biomimetics. Among them, supramolecular springs and spin-crossover (SCO) complexes can both undergo visible macroscopic changes under heat or light stimulation. In this study, we synthesized a unique trinuclear Fe(II)-SCO complex, [(R-L)Fe{Au(CN)}] (R 1), using a chiral chelating ligand decorated with rotatable benzyl rings.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the reversible spin-switching of Ni(II)-porphyrin complexes on an Ag(111) surface using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), highlighting the phenomenon of coordination-induced spin-state switching (CISSS).
- The research investigates different quantum chemistry approaches to understand the geometry and electronic structure of the molecules, and how voltage affects their switching behavior.
- Two mechanisms are examined regarding the role of the STM tip, including electron injection and electric field effects, emphasizing the importance of the pyridine ligand for both transport properties and the CISSS process.

In this paper, we report the synthesis of six novel triazole-based heteroscorpionate ligands based on heterocycle metathesis reactions and their iron(II) complexes. Single crystal structure analyses were performed, the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the obtained complexes were studied and their spin crossover-structural relationships were compared to those obtained for their pyrazole-based analogues reported in the literature. In particular, the amino derivative complex bis[hydrobis(pyrazol-1-yl)(3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)]iron(II) obtained by post-synthetic catalytic nitro-group reduction under pressure of hydrogen in an autoclave presents a scarce gradual spin crossover behavior at room temperature.
