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 ). The SbF (3) complex undergoes a gradual transition between a high temperature phase (S=2, P ) and a low temperature spin state ordered phase (S=1/S=2, P- ). Correlation of the volume of the anion and the T of the transitions in these complexes and three analogous complexes with similar anions, BF (4), ClO (5), PF (6), reveals an increase in T upon increasing the anion volume. We rationalise that the volume of the anions used modulates the elastic interactions between the Mn sites in the lattice, with increasing elastic frustration with the larger anions resulting in a two-stepped transition for 1 and the stabilisation of the mixed (HS:LS) state to low temperature for 2 and 3.

Polymer-based dielectric films are increasingly demanded for devices under high electric fields used in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic grid connections, oil and gas exploration, and aerospace. However, leakage current is one of the significant factors limiting the improvement of the insulation performance. This paper tested the leakage current and condensed state structure characteristics of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films and obtained the nonlinear characteristics of leakage current of BOPP films in the range of 40-440 V/μm and 40-110 °C.

Waste heat production represents an inevitable consequence of energy conversion as per the laws of thermodynamics. Based on this fact, by using simple theoretical models, we analyze constraints on the habitability of Earth-like terrestrial planets hosting putative technological species and technospheres characterized by persistent exponential growth of energy consumption and waste heat generation. In particular, we quantify the deleterious effects of rising surface temperature on biospheric processes and the eventual loss of liquid water.

High-pressure and low-temperature structural changes in the ferroelectric phase of (R)-3-quinuclidinol are analysed. The changes in unit-cell volume and parameters are continuous both on cooling and under increasing pressure. The anisotropy of the structural strain, however, is found to be different.

The magnetic structures of the Ho-based i-MAX phase (MoHo)GaC were studied with neutron powder diffraction at low temperature. (MoHo)GaC crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm. The material undergoes two successive antiferromagnetic transitions at T = 10 K and T = 7.

Identifying facile strategies for hierarchically structuring crystalline porous materials is critical for realizing diffusion length scales suitable for broad applications. Here, we elucidate synthesis-structure-function relations governing how room temperature catalytic conditions can be exploited to tune covalent organic framework (COF) growth and thereby access unique hierarchical morphologies without the need to introduce secondary templates or structure directing molecules. Specifically, we demonstrate how scandium triflate, an efficient catalyst involved in the synthesis of imine-based COFs, can be exploited as an effective growth modifier capable of selectively titrating terminal amines on 2D COF layers to facilitate anisotropic crystal growth.
