Three solvatomorphs of the iron(II) complex of 2,6-di[4-(ethylcarboxy)pyrazol-1-yl]pyridine (bpCOOEtp) of formulas [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·1.5MeNO (), [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·MeNO (), and [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·2MeNO () have been prepared and characterized. They show interesting spin-crossover (SCO) properties ranging from partial to complete thermal spin transitions and a light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) effect. In solvatomorph , a robust structure is formed with channels that enable the entrance or removal of solvent molecules by vapor diffusion without losing the crystallinity. Thus, solvent-exchanged samples [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·MeNO ( ), [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·MeCN (), [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·0.5MeCO ), and [Fe(bpCOOEtp)](ClO)·MeCOOH () were prepared by vapor diffusion of the solvents in a crystal of the compound previously heated to 400 K in a single-crystal to single-crystal (SCSC) fashion. Interestingly, this causes a change of spin state with a stabilization of the low-spin state in and the high-spin state in . Therefore, the SCO properties of can be tuned in a reversible way by exposure to different solvents.

The development of molecular species with switchable magnetic properties has been a long-standing challenge in chemistry. One approach involves binding an analyte, such as protons, to a compound to trigger a change in magnetism. Transition metal complexes have been targeted for this type of magnetic modulation because they can undergo changes in their spin states.

Among the large family of spin-crossover (SCO) solids, recent investigations focused on polynuclear SCO materials, whose specific molecular configurations allow the presence of multi-step transitions and elastic frustration. In this contribution, we develop the first elastic modeling of thermal and dynamical properties of trinuclear SCO solids. For that, we study a finite SCO open chain constituted of successive elastically coupled trinuclear (A=B=C) blocks, in which each site (A, B, and C) may occupy two electronic configurations, namely, low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states, accompanied with structural changes.

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.

Ammonia selective catalytic oxidation (NH-SCO) is an effective method for NH removal. However, it is still a great challenge to develop catalysts with a wide operating temperature window, high catalytic activity and N selectivity, particularly for the removal of high-concentration NH from NH-fueled engine exhaust gas. Herein, a small amount of Ru (0.

Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of NH to N is one of the most effective methods used to eliminate NH emissions. However, achieving high conversion over a wide operating temperature range while avoiding over-oxidation to NO remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a bi-metallic surficial catalyst (PtCuO/AlO) with improved Pt atom efficiency that overcomes the limitations of current catalysts.
