A synthetically controllable two-step spin transition was observed in iron(II) spin crossover nanoparticles of the dehydrated one-dimensional coordination polymer [Fe(NHtrz)]Br (NHtrz = 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole) using the reverse micellar method. The change from two-step to one-step hysteretic characteristics succeeded by changing the reaction time.

Symmetry breaking spin state transitions in two of three isostructural salts of Mn spin crossover cations, [Mn(3-OMe-5-NO-sal323)], with heavy anions are reported. The ReO (1) salt undergoes two-step spin crossover which is coupled with a re-entrant symmetry breaking structural phase transition between a high temperature phase (S=2, C2/c), an intermediate ordered phase (S=1/S=2, P2/c), and a low temperature phase (S=1, C2/c). The AsF (2) complex undergoes an abrupt transition between a high temperature phase (S=2, C2/c) and a low temperature ordered phase (S=1/S=2, P ).

Pyrrole in a cholesteric liquid crystal was discharged using a Tesla coil to generate pyrrole radicals, affording linear-shaped nano-ordered pyrrole oligomers. Subsequently, the electrochemical polymerisation of a pre-oriented pyrrole oligomer having good affinity for liquid crystals was performed to achieve polypyrrole-imprinted asymmetry from the cholesteric liquid crystal structure. The resultant polymers were analysed using polarising optical microscopy observations, scanning electron microscopy, electrochemistry, optical spectroscopy, and electron spin resonance.

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are polar fluids characterized by microscopic orientational ordering and macroscopic spontaneous polarizations. Within these fluids, domain walls that separate regions of different polarizations are ubiquitous. We demonstrate that the π walls in films of the polar fluids consist of twin half-integer surface disclinations spaced horizontally, enclosing a subdomain where the polarization exhibits left- or right-handed π twists across the film.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is considered to be a typical endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), and its widespread existence in nature is quite harmful to human and ecological environment. The S-scheme n-n heterojunction composite (BiOCO/BiOS) was constructed via a facile two-step chemical precipitation method for the removal of BPA in water environment. The optimal composite catalyst exhibited outstanding catalytic activity for BPA, obtaining approximately 0.

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.
