Article Abstract
Films and monoliths containing the spin crossover complex [Fe(Htrz)(2)(trz)](BF(4)) (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) as nanoparticles have been obtained. The dispersion and consecutive inclusion of the Fe complex in a silica matrix prepared from tetramethoxysilane or tetraethoxysilane afford monoliths or films with a violet colour at room temperature, which turns white above 380 K. This change of colour is reversible. This thermochromic behaviour has been characterized by measuring the magnetic properties together with thermogravimetric studies and Raman spectroscopy, the result of which all demonstrate that both films and monoliths undergo a spin crossover. Microscopy studies confirm the occurrence of the Fe complex as nanoparticles, in both the monoliths and the films. The facile synthesis of these materials as nanoparticles in transparent films should open the possibility of the synthesis of high quality films.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been gaining increasing focus in a variety of applications including emerging electric-propulsion concepts. A quantitative understanding of how IL ions fragment during high-energy collisions with background gases is therefore essential for interpreting mass spectra, predicting ion lifetimes in plasma and vacuum environments, and designing IL-based technologies. This work uses molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a reactive force field to numerically model the collision-induced dissociation (CID) of isolated ions (both positive and negative) and ion clusters (2:1 and 1:2 clusters) of the prototypical ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM-BF), colliding with a nitrogen (N) molecule, exploring all possible fragmentation channels arising from the breaking of both ionic and covalent bonds at collision energies ranging from 10 electron volts (eV) to 100 electron volts (eV) in the laboratory frame.

Redox-active arylazothioformamide (ATF) ligands have seen attention through their unique coordination complexes formed with late transition metals and their known ability to oxidatively dissolve zerovalent metals. When mixed with Cu(I) salts, ATF ligands form both 2:1 and 2:2 coordination complexes remaining neutral without undergoing any redox event. Herein, a series of -substituted pyrrolidine-ATFs were synthesized, incorporating both electron-donating groups (i.

In this work, new copper(I) complexes of borane-functionalized bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane ligands were synthesized, characterized and used as catalysts for the cycloaddition of phenylacetylene and azides. Reaction of the allylated bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane proligand (La) with CuCl or [Cu(NCMe)]BF gave rise to the neutral copper chloride complex [(La)CuCl] (1a) or the binuclear cationic copper complex [(La)Cu(NCMe)]2(BF4)2 (2a2), respectively. The same reactions using a borane-functionalized bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane proligand (Lb) led to the isolation of complexes [(Lb)CuCl] (1b) and [(Lb)Cu(NCMe)2]BF4 (2b).

The combination of spin-crossover (SCO) complexes with electrically conducting materials offers a promising route for developing stimuli-responsive electronics, yet the mechanism of charge transport modulation remains unexplored. Here, we investigate a bilayer heterostructure comprising silica-coated SCO nanoparticles [Fe(Htrz)(trz)](BF)@SiO within a polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) matrix and organic semiconductors (OSCs), where mechanical stress generated by spin-state switching within the PVP:SCO layer modulates the conductance within the OSC layer. Through piezo-resistivity characterization, we reveal a reversible conductance modulation in the OSC layer under hydrostatic pressure, providing a quantitative evaluation of pressure-induced stress sensitivity with the OSC layer.

A new metallogel was assembled by Cu-(II) and benzotriazole-5-carboxylic acid (Hbtca) as gelators via a solvothermal method. The study of various parameters influencing the metallogelation process, including solvent types, metal ions, counter-anions, and the mole ratios of gelators, was investigated. The morphology and surface properties of xerogels were characterized by FTIR, FE-SEM, and EDX techniques.
