Mind the gap: A complete, cooperative spin transition for a mononuclear Mn(III) complex is reported with an 8 K hysteresis window. Raman spectra collected at a single temperature in warming and cooling modes confirm the electronic bistability within the hysteresis loop. The source of the cooperativity is a disconnection in the hydrogen-bonded 1D chains that connect adjacent cations owing to an order-disorder transition in the PF(6)(-) counterion.

Highly porous, self-supported 3D interconnected network-based nanomaterials hold immense promise in revolutionizing the field of catalysis. These materials combine two critical features; a large accessible surface and an overall active surface that leads to substantial catalytic effects. In this study, we developed a novel class of 3D composite material composed of zinc oxide tetrapods (ZOT) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer, specifically designed for photocatalysis.

The synthesis and characterization of novel compounds (5-8) as mimetics of [FeFe]-hydrogenase, combining two distinct systems capable of participating in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER): the [(μ-adt)Fe2(CO)6] fragment and M-salen complexes (salen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) (M = Zn, Ni, Fe, Mn), is reported. These complexes were synthesized in high yields via a three-step procedure from N,N'-bis(4-R-salicylidene)ethanediamine) 4 [R = Fe2(CO)6(μ-SCH2)2COCH2O)]. Structural analysis through spectroscopic, spectrometric, and computational (DFT) methods confirmed distorted tetrahedral and square-planar geometries for Zn-salen and Ni-salen complexes (5 and 6) respectively, while complexes Fe-salen 7 and Mn-salen 8 exhibit square-based pyramidal structures typical of Fe(III) and Mn(III) high-spin salen-complexes.

Harnessing chiral optical forces facilitates numerous applications in enantioselective sorting and sensing. To date, significant challenges persist in substantiating the holistic complex theorem of these forces as experimental demonstrations employ common light waves (e.g.

The exploration of circularly polarized luminescence is important for advancing display and lighting technologies. Herein, by utilizing isomeric molecular engineering, a novel series of chiral molecules are designed to exploit both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) mechanisms for efficient luminescence. The cooperation of a small singlet-triplet energy gap, moderate spin-orbital coupling (SOC), and large oscillator strength enables efficient TADF emission, with photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 90 %.

Donor-acceptor dyads are promising materials for improving triplet-sensitized photon upconversion due to faster intramolecular energy transfer (ET), which unfortunately competes with charge transfer (CT) dynamics. To circumvent the issue associated with CT, we propose a novel purely organic donor-acceptor dyad, where the CT character is confined within the donor moiety. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a stable organic radical donor-triplet acceptor dyad () consisting of the acceptor perylene () linked to the donor (4--carbazolyl-2,6-dichlorophenyl)-bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl radical ().
