A series of three different solvatomorphs of a new iron(II) complex with N,N′-disubstituted 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, including those with the same lattice solvent, has been identified by X-ray diffraction under the same crystallization conditions with the metal ion trapped in the different spin states. A thermally induced switching between them, however, occurs in a solution, as unambiguously confirmed by the Evans technique and an analysis of paramagnetic chemical shifts, both based on variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The observed stabilization of the high-spin state by an electron-donating substituent contributes to the controversial results for the iron(II) complexes of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines, preventing ‘molecular’ design of their spin-crossover activity; the synthesized complex being only the fourth of the spin-crossover (SCO)-active kind with an N,N′-disubstituted ligand.

A series of new bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines (LR) N,N′-disubstituted by 4-functionalized 2,6-dibromophenyl groups have been synthesized to study the effect of a distal substituent on the spin-crossover (SCO) behaviour of the iron(II) complexes [Fe(LR)2](ClO4)2 by variable-temperature magnetometry, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The SCO-assisting tendency of the substituents with different electronic and steric properties (i.e., the bromine atom and the methyl group) in the para-position of the 2,6-dibromophenyl group is discussed. Together with earlier reported SCO-active iron(II) complexes with N,N′-disubstituted bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines, these new complexes open the way for this family of SCO compounds to emerge as an effective ‘tool’ in revealing structure–function relations, a prerequisite for successful molecular design of switchable materials for future breakthrough applications in sensing, switching, and memory devices.

The reactions of electron-rich organosilicon compounds 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (1), 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (2), and 1,1′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,1′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine (12) with B-amino and B-aryl dihaloboranes afforded a series of novel B=N-bond-containing compounds 3–11 and 13. The B=N rotational barriers of 7 (>71.56 kJ/mol), 10 (58.79 kJ/mol), and 13 (58.65 kJ/mol) were determined by variable-temperature 1H-NMR spectroscopy, thus reflecting different degrees of B=N double bond character in the corresponding compounds. In addition, ring external olefin isomers 11 were obtained by a reaction between 2 and DurBBr2. All obtained B=N-containing products were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 5, 9, 10a, 11, and 13a were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The reaction of [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 with [HRu4(CO)12BH]- followed by treatment with an excess (at least three-fold) of [Cy3PAuCl] (Cy = cyclohexyl) leads to the formation of [Rh2Ru4(CO)16B{AuPCy3}] (previously prepared by another route) and [Rh2Ru4(CO)15B{AuPCy3}3]. The new trigold derivative has been characterized by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It possesses an octahedral Rh2Ru4 core containing an interstitial boron atom; two of the gold(I) phosphine units cap two adjacent faces and the third bridges an edge of the octahedral cage. There are no close Au···Au contacts. Reactions of [Rh2Ru4(CO)16B]- with [(R3PAu)3O]+ (R = Ph, 2-MeC6H4) resulted in the formation of [Rh2Ru4(CO)15B{AuPR3}3]; for R = Ph, two isomers in respect of the arrangements of the AuPPh3 were isolated. Fluxional processes involving the gold(I) phosphine fragments have been observed using solution variable-temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy.

The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of a new trinuclear spin crossover complex [FeII3(pyrtrz)6(TsO)6]·10H2O·2CH3OH (C2) and its analogue binuclear [FeII2(pyrtrz)5(SCN)4]·7H2O (C1), are reported here. These two compounds are synthesized based on the pyrrolyl functionalized Schiff base 1,2,4-triazole ligand 4-((1H-pyrrol-2-yl)methylene-amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazole (pyrtrz), which represent rare discrete multi-nuclear species, with µ2-N1,N2-triazole bridges linking the FeII centers. DC magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed an abrupt single-step spin crossover (SCO) behavior for compound 2 on the central FeII site and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (173 K) showed that this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group (P21/c), and multiple intramolecular interactions were found responsible for the abrupt transition. Compound 1 is a binuclear complex with thiocyanate as terminal ligands. This compound stays in high spin state over the whole temperature range and displays weak antiferromagnetic exchange coupling.

The crystal structure of the iron(II) spin-crossover compound [Fe(C10H8N6)2](ClO4)2 in the high-spin state has been solved from powder X-ray diffraction data using the DASH program and refined using Rietveld refinement. The thermal spin transition has been monitored by following the change in unit-cell parameters with temperature. The title compound has been found to undergo a crystallographic phase change, involving a doubling of the crystallographic a axis, on undergoing the spin transition.

AbstractIn presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinium ([TMPH]+) chlorotris(pentafluorophenyl)borate ([TMPH]+[ClB(C6F5)3]−, 3), phenylacetylene undergoes an unusual cyclotrimerization-rearrangement leading to tris(pentafluorophenyl)(3,4,5-triphenylphenyl)borate anion (1) as a minor product which can be isolated and purified in a form of salts [1·(TMPH)n·Cl(n–1)] (n=3 or 5). A variable temperature and concentration NMR spectroscopy study of 3 in CDCl3 unambiguously demonstrated its ability to liberate free B(C6F5)3, which initiates cyclotrimerization and guides rearrangements towards formation of the tetraarylborate anion 1. For the previously studied “spectator” reaction between phenylacetylene and B(C6F5)3 in CDCl3, 1H, 19F, and 11B NMR-spectral evidence of the (C6F5)3B−–C(H)=C+Ph zwitterionic intermediate of the 1,1-carboboration reaction has been demonstrated. The crystal structures of [1·(TMPH)3·Cl2], the salt 3, and a 1:1 adduct of 1,3,5-tris(4-fluorophenyl)benzene and 2,4,6-tris(pentafluorophenyl)-1,3,5,2,4,6-trioxatriborinane (2) have been established by X-ray diffraction analysis.
