<p>Modification of the magnetic properties in a solid-state material upon external stimulus has attracted much attention in the recent years for their potential applications as switches and sensors. Within the field of coordination polymers, gas sorption studies typically focus on porous solids, with the gas molecules accommodating in the channels. Here we present a 1D non-porous coordination polymer capable of incorporating HCl gas molecules, which not only causes a reordering of its atoms in the solid state but also provokes dramatic changes in the magnetic behaviour. Subsequently, a further solid-gas transformation can occur with the extrusion of HCl gas molecules causing a second structural rearrangement which is also accompanied by modification in the magnetic path between the metal centres. Unequivocal evidence of the two-step magnetostructural transformation is provided by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.</p>

AbstractSolid state metal phosphonates (M(O3P-R-PO3) or M(O3P-R)2 (M = metal)) have layered structures where the metal atoms lie in planar sheets and the intervening R groups take up the interlamellar space. Microporous metal phosphonates can be prepared by reaction of the metal with a mixture of large and small phosphonates (M(O3P-LARGE)x(O3P-SMALL)2-x. The larger group acts as a pillar that holds the layers apart. Void spaces result from the presence of the smaller groups. The porous nature of these solids make them potential candidates for applications as sensors, size- and shape- selective catalysts, and chromatographic materials. Metal diphosphonates (M(O3P-R-PO3) can also be prepared one layer at a time on a surface, resulting in the construction of interesting superstructures that are not accessible through the solid state synthesis. For example, these superstructures can contain different components in sequential layers and may have applications in energy conversion, vectorial electron transport, and NLO devices. The preparation of microporous thin films would combine the desirable potential applications of the porous solids with the interesting parallel superstructures that can be prepared from the thin film assemblies. We report our progress toward the construction of microporous metal phosphonate thin films. The two methods that are currently being developed include: 1) phosphonate exchange of pre-assembled films, and 2) co-deposition of different large and small phosphonates during film assembly.

2,6-Di(thiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1a), 2,6-di(2-methylthiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1b) and 2,6-di(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)pyridine (1c) have been prepared by Hantzsch syntheses from 2,6-di(ω- bromoacetyl )pyridine and the appropriate thioamide. Bis ( ligand ) iron(II) and nickel(II) complexes of (1a) and (1b) have been prepared but no metal complexes of (1c) were isolated. The bis ( ligand ) iron(II) complexes of (1a) are low-spin whereas those of (1b) undergo thermally induced spin-transitions, both in the solid state and solution. 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 structure of [FeL2][ClO4]2.H2O, L = (1a), was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . The complex cation has the meridional configuration with the ligand functioning as an approximately planar tridentate. The structural parameters relating to the Fe-N6 coordination sphere are remarkably similar to those found for bis (2,2′:6′, 2′- terpyridine )iron(II) bis ( perchlorate ) monohydrate.

Non-centrosymmetric single-crystal metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are promising candidates for phase-matched nonlinear optical communication, but typical hydrothermal synthesis produces small crystals with relatively low transmittance and poor phase matching. We study the effect of the metal-to-ligand molar ratio and reaction pH on the hydro-thermal synthesis of the non-centrosymmetric Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub> and Zn(OH)(3-ptz) MOFs with <i>in-situ </i>ligand formation. In acidic environments, we find that decreasing the amount of ligand below the stoichiometric molar ratio 1:2 also produces highly transparent single-crystal octahedrons of <b>Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub></b>. In alkaline environments, we obtain long rod-like <b>Zn(OH)(3-ptz) </b>crystals whose length exceeds previous reports by up to four orders of magnitude. Potential applications of these results in the development of MOF-based nonlinear optical devices are discussed.

AbstractSolid-state refrigeration which is environmentally benign has attracted considerable attention. Mechanocaloric (mC) materials, in which the phase transitions can be induced by mechanical stresses, represent one of the most promising types of solid-state caloric materials. Herein, we have developed a thermodynamic phenomenological model and predicted extraordinarily large elastocaloric (eC) strengths for the (111)-oriented metal-free perovskite ferroelectric [MDABCO](NH4)I3 thin-films. The predicted room temperature isothermal eC ΔSeC/Δσ (eC entropy change under unit stress change) and adiabatic eC ΔTeC/Δσ (eC temperature change under unit stress change) for [MDABCO](NH4)I3 are −60.0 J K−1 kg−1 GPa−1 and 17.9 K GPa−1, respectively, which are 20 times higher than the traditional ferroelectric oxides such as BaTiO3 thin films. We have also demonstrated that the eC performance can be improved by reducing the Young’s modulus or enhancing the thermal expansion coefficient (which could be realized through chemical doping, etc.). We expect these discoveries to spur further interest in the potential applications of metal-free organic ferroelectrics materials towards next-generation eC refrigeration devices.
