Vapor-responsive magnetic materials are highly promising for applications as chemical switches or sensors. Compared with porous materials, nonporous species benefit in overcoming the intrinsic conflict between magnetic exchange and porosity but usually suffer from the powdering of single crystals, which hinders the understanding of the structural nature of vapor response and magnetic switch. Single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation of nonporous compounds through the desorption/absorption of gaseous HCl is unprecedented. Reported here is a discrete nonporous copper(II) complex, (HO)[K(15-crown-5)][CuCl], that exhibits reversible SCSC transformation and magnetic change by the chemisorption/desorption of HCl and HO. Significant changes in the coordination number (4 ↔ 3), space group (P1̅ ↔ P2/c), color (green ↔ red), and magnetic behavior (antiferromagnetic ↔ paramagnetic) were found during the SCSC transformation.

Guest transport through discrete voids (closed pores) in crystalline solids is poorly understood. Herein, we report the gas sorption properties of a nonporous coordination network, [Co(bib)2Cl2]n·2MeOH (sql-bib-Co-Cl-α), featuring square lattice (sql) topology and the bent linker 1,3-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene (bib). The as-synthesized sql-bib-Co-Cl-α has 11.

Stimulus-responsive molecular materials are highly desirable because of the wide range of their potential applications. In particular, switching of physical properties opens application pathways for molecular materials as sensors or actuators. Property switching in solids can be achieved by inducing single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) phase transitions.

The packing of organic molecular crystals is often dominated by weak non-covalent interactions, making their rearrangement under external stimuli challenging to understand. We investigate a pressure-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation between two polymorphs of 2,4,5-triiodo-1-imidazole using machine learning potentials. This process involves the rearrangement of halogen and hydrogen bonds combined with proton transfer within a complex solid-state system.

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.
