Summary: SCO@SiO2 nanoparticles based on 1,2,4-triazole iron (II) coordination compounds were prepared using a reverse microemulsion technique. The thickness of the silica shell and the morphology of the nanoparticles were studied by adjusting the polar phase/surfactant ratio, TEOS precursor quantity, ammonia quantity, and reaction temperature. The controllable size and silica shell thickness of the nanoparticles open up possibilities for post-synthetic modifications. The evolution of spin crossover properties with morphological changes was investigated through variable temperature optical and magnetic measurements.

Summary: In this study, an [FeCo] dinuclear complex exhibiting a magnetic field-induced spin crossover process was obtained, resulting in a significant polarization change of 0.45μC cm(-2).

Summary: In this study, three new neutral Fe(II) SCO molecules belonging to the {Fe[H2B(pz)(2)](2)(L)} family were synthesized, and their crystallographic structure and magnetic properties were investigated. These compounds exhibited thermal- and light-induced SCO transitions with different degrees of cooperativity and effectiveness. Furthermore, two of the compounds were demonstrated to be sublimable, forming homogeneous thin films that retained the chemical integrity of the original molecules. SCO/2D horizontal hybrid devices based on CVD-graphene were successfully produced using these films, enabling the detection of the thermal SCO transition through the electric properties of CVD-graphene.

Summary: The behavior of the neutral spin crossover complex Fe(neoim)(2) on Au and Ag (111) surfaces was investigated. It was found that the complex exhibits an electron-induced spin crossover on Ag(111) but fragments on Au. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the adsorbed complex is significantly distorted by interactions with the substrates, particularly van der Waals forces. Dispersion interaction also plays a crucial role in the relative stabilities of the low- and high-spin states of the adsorbed complex. The unexpected instability of the complex on the gold substrate is attributed to enhanced covalent bonding of the fragments to the substrate.

Summary: Temperature dependent X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the spin-crossover (SCO) transition in the nanocrystals of 3D Hoffman-like {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)(4)]}. The temperature-dependent variations in the Fe 2p core-level spectrum provide clear evidence of the spin-state transition in this SCO complex. The lack of discernible temperature-driven shifts in the binding energies of the N 1s core-level components may be due to the immunity of its HS electronic configuration to thermal fluctuations. The high-spin fraction versus temperature plot extracted from XPS measurements indicates that the surface of the nanocrystals of {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)(4)]} is in the high-spin state at room temperature, making it promising for room-temperature spintronics and quantum information science applications.

Summary: Pt/C and SO42-/ZrO2 were used as catalysts for the synthesis of p-aminophenol through the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in water with formic acid as the hydrogen source. The optimal Pt loading for PAP selectivity was found to be 1 wt%. The presence of different valence states of Pt affected both the nitrobenzene hydrogenation and formic acid decomposition. Among different solid acid catalysts tested, SO42-/ZrO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity for p-aminophenol formation. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of nitrobenzene reached 80.0%, with a selectivity of 47.6% for p-aminophenol.

Summary: The mechanism of the reaction between CO2 and styrene oxide for cyclic carbonate was revealed using density functional theory calculations. The noncatalytic reaction occurred via a concerted mechanism, while in the presence of guanidine and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) co-catalysts, the epoxide ring-opening by nucleophilic attack of an iodide anion was predicted to be the rate-determining step. Guanidine acted as the H-bond donor to activate styrene oxide, facilitating the reaction with a lower activation barrier.

Summary: Copper nanorods (Cu-NRs) exhibit significant plasmonic behavior and can act as efficient catalysts in redox processes and coupling. A benign decarboxylative approach, utilizing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) assisted catalysis with Cu-NRs, has been developed for the production of alkane analogues from alkyl carboxylic acids under visible light. The catalyst shows a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, without the need for an external oxidant or proton source. A plausible mechanism for this recyclable nano-catalyst has also been proposed based on control experiments.
