Reported here is the first Fe based supramolecular cage with pyridyl-hydrazone ligand scaffolds that exhibits temperature induced spin crossover behaviour. Density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate the cause of the occurrence of this phenomenon based on the ligand structure. These results indicate that the reported low-spin cages with pyridyl-imine sites could be reconsidered for spin crossover by carefully manipulating the functional groups in the ligand system.

The integration of spin crossover (SCO) magnetic switching and electric polarization properties can engender intriguing correlated magnetic and electric phenomena. However, achieving substantial SCO-induced polarization change through rational molecular design remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we present a polar Fe(II) compound that exhibits substantial polarization change in response to a thermally regulated low-spin ↔ high-spin transition.

Chiral allyl amines are important structural components in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of imines with internal alkynes to synthesize chiral allyl amines. The reaction is catalyzed by a cobalt complex derived from commercially available bisphosphine ligand utilizing zinc as the electron donor.

A search for switchable molecules has afforded a family of cobalt complexes featuring derivatives of 2-aminophenol: 4,6-di--butyl aminophenol (HL) and 2-anilino-4,6-di--butyl aminophenol (HL). The heteroleptic cobalt complexes incorporate a Metpa ligand (tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine; = 0-3), which involves the methylation of the 6-position of the pyridine ring). Eight members of this family have been synthesized and characterized: [Co(HL)(tpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(L)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(L)(Metpa)](BPh) (), [Co(HL)(tpa)] (BPh)(ClO) (), [Co(L)(tpa)](BPh)(ClO) () and [Co(HL)(Metpa)](BPh) (), where the aminophenol-derived ligands are monoanionic in either the open shell radical iminosemiquinonate (L) or the closed shell protonated aminophenolate (HL).

Superdiffusion is surprisingly easily observed even in systems without the integrability underpinning this phenomenon. Indeed, the classical Heisenberg chain-one of the simplest many-body systems, and firmly believed to be nonintegrable-evinces a long-lived regime of anomalous, superdiffusive spin dynamics at finite temperature. Similarly, superdiffusion persists for long timescales, even at high temperature, for small perturbations around a related integrable model.

Landau-Zener tunneling, which describes the transition in a two-level system during a sweep through an anti-crossing, is a model applicable to a wide range of physical phenomena. Realistic quantum systems are affected by dissipation due to coupling to their environments. An important aspect of understanding such open quantum systems is the relative energy scales of the system itself and the system-environment coupling, which distinguishes the weak- and strong-coupling regimes.
