The spin-crossover phenomenon is a reversible low- and high-spin transition caused by external stimuli such as heat. In the novel iron(II) complex salt tetraphenylphosphonium tris(thiocyanato-κN)[1,1,1-tris(pyridin-2-yl)ethane-κ3N,N′,N′′]ferrate(II), (C24H20P)[Fe(NCS)3(C17H15N3)], the Fe—N bond lengths are in the range 2.027 (2)–2.089 (2) Å, indicating that the specimen consists of comparable molar fractions of the low- and high-spin species at 296 K. A magnetic study confirmed that spin-crossover takes place at around 290 K.

The crystal structure of the polymeric spin crossover compound Fe(3,4-dimethyl-pyridine)2[Ag(CN)2]2 has been solved and its temperature dependence followed by means of single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. This compound presents a two-step spin transition with relatively abrupt steps centred at ca. 170 K and 145 K and a plateau at around 155 K. The origin of the two-step transition is discussed in light of these structural studies. The observations are compatible with a mostly disordered state between the two steps, consisting of mixing of high-spin and low-spin species, while weak substructure reflections in the mixed phase could indicate some degree of long-range order of the high-spin and low-spin sites.

2,6-Di(thiazol-2-yl]pyridine (1a), 2,6-di(4-methylthiazol-2-yl)pyridine (1b) and 2,6-di(2-imid-azolin-2-yl)pyridine (3) have been prepared by the reaction of pyridine-2,6-dicarbothioamide with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal, bromoacetone and ethylenediamine, severally. Bis ( ligand ) iron(II) and nickel(II) complexes of all ligands have been prepared. The bis ( ligand ) iron(II) complexes of (1a) and (3) are low-spin whereas that of (1b) is high-spin at room temperature and undergoes a thermally induced spin transition. The field strengths of the ligands , determined from the spectra of their nickel(II) complexes, correlate well with the observed magnetic behaviour of their iron(II) complexes. The field strengths of (1a) and (1b) are found to be marginally less than those of the isomeric ligands 2,6-di(thiazol-4-yl)pyridine (2a) and 2,6-di(2-methylthiazol-4-yl)pyridine (2b).

Spin state switching on external stimuli is a phenomenon with wide applicability ranging from molecular electronics to gas activation in nanoporous frameworks. Here we model spin crossover as a function of hydrostatic pressure in octahedrally coordinated transition metal centers by applying a field of effective nuclear forces that compress the molecule towards its centroid. For spin crossover in first-row transition metals coordinated by hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, we find the pressure required for spin transition to be a function of ligand position in the spectrochemical sequence. While pressures on the order of 1 GPa are required to flip spins in homogeneously ligated octahedral sites, we demonstrate a five-fold decrease in spin transition pressure for the archetypal strong field ligand carbon monoxide in octahedrally coordinated Fe<sup>2+</sup> in [Fe(II)(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>5</sub>CO]<sup>2+</sup>.

The electronic properties of bis(2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine)iron(II) triflate depend markedly on the extent of hydration. The trihydrate is low spin while the monohydrate is high spin at room temperature but undergoes a discontinuous transition to low spin at low temperatures. In the anhydrous complex magnetic and Mössbauer spectral data indicate that there is a minor fraction of low-spin species at room temperature and this fraction increases at low temperatures. The spin transition in the anhydrous salt is continuous and incomplete at 80 K. The structure of the trihydrate reveals an extensive hydrogen-bonding network which involves the uncoordinated >NH groups of the pyrazolyl groups in the ligands, the water molecules and the anions. The disruption of this network on loss of water is believed to be responsible for the change in electronic properties. Bis(2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine)iron(II) triflate trihydrate: triclinic, space group P-1, a 11·490(5), b 12·218(6), c 13·666(6) Å, α 104 ·67(2), β 104·58(2), γ 104·35(2)°, Z 2.
