ABSTRACT
The chemisorption of sulfur dioxide (SO2) on the Hofmann-like spin crossover porous coordination polymer (SCO-PCP) {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)4]} has been investigated at room temperature. Thermal analysis and adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that ca. 1 mol of SO2 per mol of {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)4]} was retained in the pores. Nevertheless, the SO2 was loosely attached to the walls of the host network and completely released in 24 h at 298 K. Single crystals of {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)4]}·nSO2 (n ≈ 0.25) were grown in water solutions saturated with SO2, and its crystal structure was analyzed at 120 K. The SO2 molecule is coordinated to the Pt(II) ion through the sulfur atom ion, Pt-S = 2.585(4) Å. This coordination slightly stabilizes the low-spin state of the Fe(II) ions shifting the critical temperatures of the spin transition by 8-12 K. DFT calculations have been performed to rationalize these observations.

In this Communication, we report the synthesis and characterization of novel Hofmann-like spin-crossover porous coordination polymers of composition {Fe(L)[M(CN)(4)]}·G [L = 1,4-bis(4-pyridylethynyl)benzene and M(II) = Ni, Pd, and Pt]. The spin-crossover properties of the framework are closely related to the number and nature of the guest molecules included in the pores.

Here we present a novel three-dimensional iron(II) spin-crossover porous coordination polymer based on the bis(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane (tr(2)ad) ligand and the [Au(CN)(2)](-) metalloligand anions with the formula {Fe(3)(tr(2)ad)(4)[Au(CN)(2))](2)}[Au(CN)(2)](4)·G. The sorption/desorption of guest molecules, water, and five/six-membered-ring organic molecules is easily detectable because the guest-free and -loaded frameworks present drastically distinct coloration and spin-state configurations.
ABSTRACT
Here we describe the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of two related coordination polymers made up of self-assembling Fe(II) ions, pyrazine (pz), and the tetrathiocyanopalladate anion. Compound {Fe(MeOH)(2)[Pd(SCN)(4)]}·pz (1a) is a two-dimensional coordination polymer where the Fe(II) ions are equatorially coordinated by the nitrogen atoms of four [Pd(SCN)(4)](2-) anions, each of which connects four Fe(II) ions, forming corrugated layers {Fe[Pd(SCN)(4)]}(∞). The coordination sphere of Fe(II) is completed by the oxygen atoms of two CH(3)OH molecules. The layers stack one on top of each other in such a way that the included pz molecule establishes strong hydrogen bonds with the coordinated methanol molecules of adjacent layers. Compound {Fe(pz)[Pd(SCN)(4)]} (2) is a three-dimensional porous coordination polymer formed by flat {Fe[Pd(SCN)(4)]}(∞) layers pillared by the pz ligand. Thermal analysis of 1a shows a clear desorption of the two coordinated CH(3)OH molecules giving a rather stable phase (1b), which presumably is a polymorphic form of 2. The magnetic properties of the three derivatives are typical of the high-spin Fe(II) compounds. However, compounds 1b and 2, with coordination sphere [FeN(6)], show thermal spin crossover behavior at pressures higher than ambient pressure (10(5) MPa).
ABSTRACT
All in a spin: A series of three-dimensional porous coordination polymer {Fe(dpe)[Pt(CN)(4)]}â G (dpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene; G = phenazine, anthracene, or naphthalene) exhibiting spin crossover and host-guest functions is reported. The magnetic properties of the framework are very sensitive to the chemical nature (aromatic or hydroxilic solvents) and the size of the included guest molecules.

Inclusion of thiourea guest molecules in the tridimensional spin crossover porous coordination polymers {[Fe(pyrazine)[M(CN)(4)]} (M = Pd, Pt) leads to novel clathrates exhibiting unprecedented large thermal hysteresis loops of ca. 60 K wide centered near room temperature.
ABSTRACT
Three new tetranuclear compounds of formula [Fe(4)(mu-CN)(4)(phen)(4)(L)(2))](PF(6))(4) x G where L = tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine (TPMA) [G = 0] (1), (6-methylpyrid-2-ylmethyl)-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)amine (MeTPMA) [G = 0] (2), or bis(6-methylpyrid-2-ylmethyl)-(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)amine (Me(2)TPMA) [G = NH(4)PF(6)] (3) and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized. The three compounds crystallize in the C2/c space group and consist of [Fe(4)(mu-CN)(4)(phen)(4)(L)(2))](4+) square shaped cations with two distinct iron(II) sites. The sites, associated with [Fe(phen)(2)(CN)(2)] and [Fe(L)(NC)(2)] moieties, are connected by cyanide bridging ligands and reside in different [FeN(4)C(2)] and [FeN(6)] ligand field strength environments. For 1, the structural features of both sites at 100 and 293 K are those of an iron(II) atom in the low-spin state, according to the magnetic properties. At 370 K the structure of the [FeN(6)] site is consistent with a quite complete change of spin state from the low-spin state to the high-spin state, a behavior confirmed by the magnetic study. Introduction of a methyl substituent in the sixth position of one or two pyridine groups to get MeTPMA or Me(2)TPMA derivatives, respectively, induce in 2 and 3 notable steric constraint in the [FeN(6)] site making longer the average Fe-N bond distances thereby weakening the ligand field strength and stabilizing the high-spin state. The [FeN(4)C(2)] site remains in the low-spin state in the three compounds.
