"Do Fluorescence and Transient Absorption Probe the Same Intramolecular Charge Transfer State of 4-(Dimethylamino)benzonitrile?".

T. Gustavsson, P. B. Coto, L. Serrano-Andrés, T. Fujiwara, and E. C. Lim,
Journal of Chemical Physics, 131, 031101 (2009)

We present here the results of time-resolved absorption and emission experiments for
4-_dimethylamino_benzonitrile in solution, which suggest that the fluorescent intramolecular charge
transfer _ICT_ state may differ from the twisted ICT _TICT_ state observed in transient
absorption.

Bidirectional Chemo-switching of Spin State in a Microporous Framework

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2009, 48, 4767-4771

M. Ohba, K. Yoneda, G. Agusti, M. C. Muñoz, A. B. Gaspar, J. A. Real, M. Yamasaki, H. Ando, Y. Nakao, S. Sakaki, S. Kitagawa Using the microporous coordination polymer {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)4]} (1, pz=pyrazine), incorporating spin-crossover subunits, two-directional magnetic chemo-switching is achieved at room temperature. In situ magnetic measurements following guest vapor injection show that most guest molecules transform 1 from the low-spin (LS) state to the high-spin (HS) state, whereas CS2 uniquely causes the reverse HS-to-LS transition

One-dimensional iron(II) compounds exhibiting spin crossover and liquid crystalline properties in the room temperature region

Inorg. Chem., 2008, 47, 10232-10245

M. Seredyuk, A. B. Gaspar, V. Ksenofontov, Y. Galyametdinov, M. Verdaguer, F. Villain, P. Gütlich A novel series of 1D triazole-based Fe(II) metallomesogens have been synthesized. The long chain derivatives exhibit spin transition coexisting with the mesomorphic behavior in the room-temperature region. This is a new example of a system where the phase transition g ? Colh directly influences the spin transition of the Fe(II) ions.

A Combined Top-Down/Bottom-Up Approach for the Nanoscale Patterning of Spin-Crossover Coordination Polymers

G. Molnár, S. Cobo, J. A. Real, F. Carcenac, E. Daran, C. Vieu, A. Bousseksou Micro- and nanometer-sized patterns of the spin-crossover compound [Fe(pyrazine)Pt(CN)4] have been fabricated using a combination of lift-off and multilayer sequential assembly methods. These patterns (see figure and inside cover) exhibit a bistability of their electronic states and, thus, represent a novel platform for a wide array of potential applications.

Multilayer Sequential Assembly of Thin Films That Display Room Temperature Spin Crossover with Hysteresis

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2006, 45, 5786-5789

S. Cobo, G. Molnár, J. A. Real, A. Bousseksou Thin films of [Fe(pyrazine)M(CN)4] (M=Ni, Pd, or Pt) coordination polymers were assembled sequentially through coordinate bonding on gold surfaces (see scheme). These multilayers exhibit spin-crossover phenomena with hysteresis at room temperature.

The authors demonstrate large-scale patterning of single ferritin molecules by sequential (atomic force microscopy local oxidation) and parallel approaches (lithographically controlled wetting). The nanopattern size matches the size of the protein (10 nm). Electrostatic interactions, capillary forces, surface functionalization, and nanolithography are used to achieve the desired protein organization.

Some of the new unique features of the MOLCAS quantum chemistry package version 7 are presented in this report. In particular, the Cholesky decomposition method applied to some quantum chemical methods is described. The report further elaborates on the implementation of a restrictive-active space self-consistent field reference function in conjunction with 2nd order perturbation theory. The average atomic natural orbital basis for relativistic calculations, covering the whole periodic table, are describe and associated unique properties are demonstrated. Furthermore, the use of the arbitrary order Douglas-Kroll-Hess transformation for one-component relativistic calculations and its implementation is discussed. Moreover, the ElectroStatic Potential Fitted scheme, a version of a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics hybrid method implemented in MOLCAS, is described and discussed. Finally, the report discusses the use of the MOLCAS package for advanced studies of photo chemical phenomenon and the usefulness of the algorithms for constrained geometry optimization in MOLCAS in association with such studies.

Electronic and Magnetic Study of Polycationic Mn12 Single-Molecule Magnets with a Ground Spin State S = 1

January 18, 2010: Vol. 49, Iss. 2



J. M. Clemente-Juan, E. Coronado, A. Forment-Aliaga, A. Gaita-Ariño, C. Giménez-Saiz, F. M. Romero, W. Wernsdorfer, R. Biagi, and V. Corradini have recently published the full paper entitle Electronic and Magnetic Study of Polycationic Mn12 Single-Molecule Magnets with a Ground Spin State S = 1 in Inorganic Chemistry (vol. 49, Issue 2, pages 353-768).
This work has been chosen to be the cover subject for the issue in which it appears. The paper report how small changes in the synthetic procedure lead to different isomers of polycationic Mn12 complexes.
These molecules preserve their single-molecule magnet behavior and an unusual spin ground state, S = 11. The same alkylammonium groups, which provide cationic state to the molecules, seem to give rise to their double reduction.
