A new synthesis of (8-quinolyl)-5-methoxysalicylaldimine (Hqsal-5-OMe) is reported and its crystal structure is presented. Two Fe(III) complexes, [Fe(qsal-5-OMe)(2)]Cl⋅solvent (solvent = 2 MeOH⋅0.5 H(2)O (1) and MeCN⋅H(2)O (2)) have been prepared and their structural, electronic and magnetic properties studied. [Fe(qsal-5-OMe)(2)]Cl⋅2 MeOH⋅0.5 H(2)O (1) exhibits rare crystallographically independent high-spin and low-spin Fe(III) centres at 150 K, whereas [Fe(qsal-5-OMe)(2)]Cl⋅ MeCN⋅H(2)O (2) is low spin at 100 K. In both structures there are extensive π-π and C-H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. SQUID magnetometry of 2 reveals an unusual abrupt stepped-spin crossover with T(1/2) = 245 K and 275 K for steps 1 and 2, respectively, with a slight hysteresis of 5 K in the first step and a plateau of 15 K between the steps. In contrast, 1 is found to undergo an abrupt half-spin crossover also with a hysteresis of 10 K. The two compounds are the first Fe(III) complexes of a substituted qsal ligand to exhibit abrupt spin crossover. These conclusions are supported by (57) Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Both complexes exhibit reversible reduction to Fe(II) at -0.18 V and irreversible oxidation of the coordinated qsal-5-OMe ligand at +1.10 V.

Twisting 2D van der Waals magnets allows the formation and control of different spin-textures, as skyrmions or magnetic domains. Beyond the rotation angle, different spin reversal processes can be engineered by increasing the number of magnetic layers forming the twisted van der Waals heterostructure. Here, pristine monolayers and bilayers of the A-type antiferromagnet CrSBr are considered as building blocks.

Article Synopsis
- - The compound polycrystalline [FeL2][BF4]2 demonstrates a significant hysteretic spin transition around 240 K, with its behavior influenced by sample history, consisting of two related high-spin polymorphs (HS1 and HS2).
- - Upon cooling, both high-spin forms transition to low-spin phases (LS3 and LS4) at approximately 230 K, with LS3 coming from HS1 and LS4 from HS2, showing different crystal structures and transition temperatures.
- - Repeated cycling through the spin transition results in a gradual increase of HS1 and LS3 phases while depleting HS2 and LS4, indicating complex phase behavior and sample-dependent characteristics across related iron(II) and

Rare-earth-transition-metal (RE-TM) ferrimagnets are excellent materials for spin encode/decode operations via spin transport in nonmagnetic regions. This superior performance stems from two key factors. First, the antiferromagnetic coupling between RE4f and TM3d sublattices reduces both the spin-transfer-torque switching time and inter-device magnetic-coupling.
