Abstract
Giant magnetoelectric coupling and magnetic-field-induced spin state trapping (MIESST) were recently reported in spin crossover materials with polar phases. We discuss these phenomena considering the distinct contributions of the change of the molecular spin state, driven by the magnetic field, and the coupled structural symmetry-breaking during the stepwise change of electric polarisation or MIESST.

Abstract
The structure-property correlation of [Co(terpy)2]2+, which shows a spin crossover at 270 K, has been computationally investigated based on its variable temperature crystal structures. Among the employed DFT functionals, only the re-parametrized hybrid B3LYP* functional could describe the correct spin transition temperature. Explicit consideration of metal-ligand sigma bonding with dynamic electron correlation is found to be necessary for an accurate determination of the SCO temperature with multi-reference calculations. The metal-ligand axial bond distances are found to be the most significant internal coordinates in deciding SCO. A small structural change along the axial distance causes a change in the t2g orbital splitting pattern and a reorientation of the magnetization axes at the SCO temperature. The complex shows an unusual triaxial magnetic anisotropy, with an easy axis of magnetization developing at higher temperatures. The strong coupling of low-frequency wagging motion of the two terpyridine ligands with the spin states of the complex provides an effective pathway for the relaxation of magnetization, resulting in a small magnetic anisotropy barrier.

Abstract
Octahedrally coordinated spin crossover (SCO) FeII complexes represent an important class of switchable molecular materials. This study presents the synthesis and characterisation of a novel complex, [FeII(ppt-2Fph)2]0·2MeOH, where ppt-2Fph is a new asymmetric ionogenic tridentate planar ligand 2-(5-(2-fluorophenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine. The complex exhibits a hysteretic thermally induced SCO transition at 285 K on cooling and at 293 K on heating, as well as light induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) at lower temperatures with a relaxation T(LIESST) temperature of 73 K. Single crystal analysis in both spin states shows that the compound undergoes an unusual partial (25%) reversible order-disorder of the asymmetrically substituted phenyl group coupled to the thermal SCO. The highly cooperative SCO transition, analysed by structural energy framework analysis at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) theory level, revealed the co-existence of stabilising and destabilising energy variations in the lattice. The observed antagonism of intermolecular interactions and synchronous rotational disorder, which contributes to the overall entropy change, is suggested to be at the origin of the cooperative SCO transition.

Abstract
A novel FeIII complex [Fe(Hex-tnal)2]BPh4 (1) with a tridentate N2O ligand having an n-hexyl chain, Hex-Htnal (=1-((((1-hexyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol), is reported. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that 1 exhibits a two-step spin crossover (SCO) transition in the 400-10 K temperature range, including an unusual gradual χMT change above RT (300-345 K) and a hysteretic χMT jump in a narrow temperature range of 345-357 K. These behaviors were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. Variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the order-disorder transition and conformational change of the hexyl chains and the symmetry change associated with the re-entrant structural phase transition, namely triclinic P1̄ (100-275 K) ↔ monoclinic C2/c (296-340 K) ↔ triclinic P1̄ (360 K), are coupled to variations in intermolecular interactions and the N4O2 coordination environment, resulting in the occurrence of the unusual two-step SCO transition of 1. This study demonstrates that the flexible motion of alkyl substituents in the supramolecular lattice influences the occurrence of anomalous magnetic switching properties.

Abstract
Valence tautomerism (VT) involves the stimulated reversible intramolecular electron transfer between a redox-active metal and ligand. Dinuclear cobalt complexes bridged by bis(dioxolene) ligands can undergo thermally-induced VT with access to {CoIII-cat-cat-CoIII}, {CoIII-cat-SQ-CoII} and {CoII-SQ-SQ-CoII} states (cat2- = catecholate, SQ˙- = semiquinonate, CoIII refers to low spin CoIII, CoII refers to high spin CoII). The resulting potential for two-step VT interconversions offers increased functionality over mononuclear examples. In this study, the bis(dioxolene) ligand 3,3',4,4'-tetrahydroxy-5,5'-dimethoxy-benzaldazine (thMH4) was paired with Mentpa (tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, n = 0-3 corresponds to methylation at 6-position of the pyridine rings) to afford [{Co(Mentpa)}2(thM)](PF6)2 (1a, n = 0; 2a, n = 2; 3a, n = 3). Structural, magnetic susceptibility and spectroscopic data show that 1a and 3a remain in the temperature invariant {CoIII-cat-cat-CoIII} and {CoII-SQ-SQ-CoII} forms in the solid state, respectively. In contrast, 2a exhibits incomplete thermally-induced VT between these two tautomeric forms via the mixed {CoIII-cat-SQ-CoII} tautomer. In solution, room temperature electronic absorption spectra are consistent with the assignments from the solid-state, with VT observed only for 2a. From electrochemistry, the proximity of the two 1e--processes for the thMn- ligand indicates weak electronic communication between the two dioxolene units, supporting the potential for a two-step VT interconversion in thMn- containing complexes. Comparison of the redox potentials of the Co and thMn- processes suggests that only 2a has these processes in sufficient proximity to afford the thermally-induced VT observed experimentally. Density functional theory calculations are consistent with the prerequisite energy ordering for a two-step transition for 2a, and temperature invariant {CoIII-cat-cat-CoIII} and {CoII-SQ-SQ-CoII} states for 1a and 3a, respectively. This work presents the third example, and the first formally conjugated example, of a bridging bis(dioxolene) ligand that can afford two-step VT in a Co complex, suggesting new possibilities towards applications based on multistep switching.

Abstract
Spin-crossover (SCO) compounds are promising materials for a wide variety of industrial applications. However, the fundamental understanding of their nature of transition and its effect on the physical properties are still being fervently explored; the microscopic knowledge of their transition is essential for tailoring their properties. Here an attempt is made to correlate the changes in macroscopic physical properties with microscopic structural changes in the orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of the SCO compound Fe(PM-Bia)2(NCS)2 (PM = N-2'-pyridylmethylene and Bia = 4-aminobiphenyl) by employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetization and DSC measurements. The dependence of macroscopic properties on cooperativity, highlighting the role of hydrogen bonding, π-π and van der Waals interactions is discussed. Values of entropy, enthalpy and cooperativity are calculated numerically based on the Slichter-Drickamer model. The particle size dependence of the magnetic properties is probed along with the thermal exchange and the kinetic behavior of the two polymorphs based on the dependence of magnetization on temperature scan rate and a theoretical model is proposed for the calculation of the non-equilibrium spin-phase fraction. Also a scan-rate-dependent two-step behavior observed for the orthorhombic polymorph, which is absent for the monoclinic polymorph, is reported. Moreover, it is found that the radiation dose from synchrotron radiation affects the spin-crossover process and shifts the transition region to lower temperatures, implying that the spin crossover can be tuned with radiation damage.

Abstract
The large volume change, which accompanies the molecular spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon in some transition metal complexes, prompts frequently the coupling of the SCO with other instabilities. Understanding the driving mechanism(s) of such coupled phase transitions is not only important for fundamental reasons but also provides scope for the development of multifunctional materials. The general theoretical expectation is that the coupling has elastic origin, and the sequence of transitions can be tuned by an externally applied pressure, but dedicated experiments remain scarce. Here, we used high-pressure and low-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction to investigate the high-spin (HS) to low-spin (LS) transitions in the molecular complexes [FeII(H2B(pz)2)2(bipy)] and [FeII(H2B(pz)2)2(phen)]. In the bipyridine complex, the SCO is continuous and isostructural over the whole T, P-range (100-300 K, 0-2 GPa). In the phenanthroline derivative, however, the SCO is concomitant with a symmetry-breaking transition (C2/c to P1̅). Structural analysis reveals that the coupling between the two phenomena can be tuned by external pressure from a virtually simultaneous HSC2/c-LSP1̅ transition to the sequence of HSC2/c-LSC2/c-LSP1̅ transitions. The correlation of spontaneous strain and order parameter behaviors highlights that the "separated" transitions remain still connected via strain coupling, whereas the "simultaneous" transitions are partially split.

Abstract
A detailed study of the two-dimensional (2-D) Hofmann-like framework [Fe(furpy)2Pd(CN)4]·nG (furpy: N-(pyridin-4-yl)furan-2-carboxamide, G = H2O,EtOH (A·H2O,Et), and H2O (A·H2O)) is presented, including the structural and spin-crossover (SCO) implications of subtle guest modification. This 2-D framework is characterized by undulating Hofmann layers and an array of interlayer spacing environments─this is a strategic approach that we achieve by the inclusion of a ligand with multiple host-host and host-guest interaction sites. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies reveal an asymmetric multistep SCO for A·H2O,Et and an abrupt single-step SCO for A·H2O with an upshift in transition temperature of ∼75 K. Single-crystal analyses show a primitive orthorhombic symmetry for A·H2O,Et characterized by a unique FeII center─the multistep SCO character is attributed to local ligand orientation. Counterintuitively, A·H2O shows a triclinic symmetry with two inequivalent FeII centers that undergo a cooperative single-step high-spin (HS)-to-low-spin (LS) transition. We conduct detailed structure-function analyses to understand how the guest ethanol influences the delicate balance between framework communication and, therefore, the local structure and spin-state transition mechanism.

Abstract
Spin crossover complexes that reversibly interconvert between two stable states imitate a binary state of 0 and 1, delivering a promising possibility to address the data processing concept in smart materials. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the modulation of magnetic transition between high spin and low spin and the factors responsible for stabilizing the spin states is an essential theme in modern materials design. In this context, the present review attempts to provide a concise outline of the design strategy employed at the molecular level for fine-tuning the spin-state switching in FeII -based Hofmann-type coordination polymers and their effects on the optical and magnetic response. In addition, development towards the nanoscale architectures of HCPs, i. e., in terms of nanoparticles and thin films, are emphasized to bridge the gap between the laboratory and reality.

Abstract
A computational study of the light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) in a number of Fe(II) spin crossover complexes, coordinated by monodentate, bidentate and multidentate ligands is carried out, with the goal to uncover the trend in the low temperature relaxation rate. A nine order of magnitude change in low temperature relaxation rate is observed among the complexes. The trend is rationalized in terms of the change in metal-ligand covalency, numerically estimated by the crystal orbital Hamiltonian population, thus influencing the back donation or delocalization of the electrons from the low-lying Fe(II)-centered molecular orbital to the empty low-lying ligand-centered π* antibonding molecular orbitals.

Abstract
Materials with multi-stabilities controllable by external stimuli are potential for high-capacity information storage and switch devices. Herein, we report the observation of pressure-driven two-step second-harmonic-generation (SHG) switching in polar BiOIO 3 for the first time. Structure analyses reveal two pressure-induced phase transitions in BiOIO 3 from the ambient noncentrosymmetric phase (SHG-high) to an intermediate noncentrosymmetric phase (SHG-intermediate) and then to a centrosymmetric phase (SHG-off). The three-state SHG switching is inspected by in-situ high-pressure powder SHG and polarization-dependent single-crystal SHG measurements. Local structure analyses based on the in-situ Raman spectra and X-ray absorption spectra reveal that the SHG switching are caused by the step-wise suppression of lone-pair electrons on the [IO 3 ] - units. The dramatic evolution of the functional units under compression also leads to subtle changes of the optical absorption edge of BiOIO 3 . Materials with switchable multiple stabilities provide a state-of-art platform for next-generation switch and information storage devices.

Abstract
A MnIII spin crossover complex with atypical two-step hysteretic thermal switching at 74 K and 84 K shows rich structural-magnetic interplay and magnetic-field-induced spin state switching below 14 T with an onset below 5 T. The spin states, structures, and the nature of the phase transitions are elucidated via X-ray and magnetization measurements. An unusual intermediate phase containing four individual sites, where 1 / 4 are in a pure low spin state, is observed. The splitting of equivalent sites in the high temperature phase into four inequivalent sites is due to a structural reorganization involving a primary and a secondary symmetry-breaking order parameter that induces a crystal system change from orthorhombic→monoclinic and a cell doubling. Further cooling leads to a reconstructive phase transition and a monoclinic low-temperature phase with two inequivalent low-spin sites. The coupling between the order parameters is identified in the framework of Landau theory.

Abstract
Among the large family of spin-crossover materials, binuclear systems play an important role due to their specific molecular configurations, allowing the presence of multi-step transitions and elastic frustration. Although this issue benefited from a significant number of spin-based theories, there is almost no elastic description of the spin transition phenomenon in binuclear systems. To overcome this deficiency, in this work we develop the first elastic modeling of thermal properties of binuclear spin-crossover solids. At this end, we investigated a finite spin-crossover open chain constituted of elastically coupled binuclear (A = B) blocks, ⋯A=B−A=B−A=B⋯, in which the considered equivalent A and B sites may occupy two configurations, namely low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) states. The sites of the binuclear unit interact via an intramolecular spring and couple to the neighboring binuclear units via other springs. The model also includes the change of length inside and between the binuclear units subsequent to the spin state changes. When injecting an elastic frustration inside the binuclear unit in the LS state, competing interactions between the intra- and the inter-binuclear couplings emerge. The latter shows that according to the intra- and inter-binuclear elastic constants and the strength of the frustration, multi-step transitions are derived, for which a specific self-organization of type (HS = HS)-(LS-LS)-(HS = HS)⋯ is revealed and discussed. Finally, we have also studied the relaxation of the metastable photoinduced HS states at low temperature, in which two relaxation regimes with transient self-organized states were identified when monitoring the elastic frustration rate or the ratio of intra- and intermolecular elastic interactions. These behaviors are reminiscent of the thermal dependence of the order parameters of the system. The present model opens several possibilities of extensions of elastic frustrations acting in polynuclear spin-crossover systems, which may lead to other types of spin-state self-organizations and relaxation dynamics.

Abstract
Crystals of [FeL2][BF4]2·nMeCN (L = N-(2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyrid-4-yl)acetamide; n = 1 or 2) and [FeL2][ClO4]2·MeCN are isomorphous. When n = 1 the compounds exhibit an abrupt, hysteretic spin-transition below 200 K, but when n = 2 the material remains high-spin on cooling. [FeL2]X2·EtCN (X- = BF4- or ClO4-) are isomorphous with the MeCN solvates and undergo their spin-transition at almost the same temperature. However this now occurs in two-steps via a re-entrant mixed-spin intermediate phase, which correlates with crystallographic ordering of the bent propionitrile molecule.

Abstract
The [FeN6] chromophores found in [Fe(didentate)3]2+ complexes, where didentate is a non-symmetrical 2-(6-membered-heterocyclic ring)-benzimidazole ligand (Lk), exist as mixtures of two geometrical mer (C1-symmetry) and fac (C3-symmetry) isomers. Specific alkyl-substituted six-membered heterocyclic rings connected to the benzimidazole unit (pyridines in ligands L1-L3, pyrazines in L4-L5 and pyrimidines in L6-L7) control the ligand field strength and the electron delocalization so that [FeII(Lk)3]2+ display tunable thermally-induced spin transitions in solution. Thermodynamic, spectroscopic (UV-Vis, NMR) and magnetic studies in solution demonstrate that [Fe(L6)3]2+ (L6 = 1-methyl-2-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole) exhibits a close to room temperature spin transition (T1/2 = 273(3) K) combined with a high stability formation constant ( in acetonitrile), which makes this complex suitable for the potential modulation of lanthanide-based luminescence in polymetallic helicates. A novel method is proposed for assigning specific thermodynamic spin crossover parameters to fac-[Fe(L6)3]2+ and mer-[Fe(L6)3]2+ isomers in solution. The observed difference relies mainly on the entropic content ΔS-ΔS = 11(1) J mol-1 K-1, which favors the spin transition for the meridional isomer. Intermolecular interactions occurring in the crystalline state largely overcome minor thermodynamic trends operating in diluted solutions and a single configurational isomer is usually observed in the solid state. Among the thirteen solved crystal structures 1-13 containing the [M(Lk)3]2+ cations (M = Fe, Ni, Zn, Lk = L6-L7), pure meridional isomers are observed six times, pure facial isomers also six times and a mixture (44% mer and 56% fac) is detected only once. Solid-state magnetic data recorded for the FeII complexes show the operation of slightly cooperative spin transitions in 7 (fac-[Fe(L6)3]2+) and 12 (mer-[Fe(L7)3]2+). For the meridional isomer in 6, a two-step spin state transition curve, associated with two phase transitions, is detected.

Abstract
The spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon corresponds to a modification that originates at the atomic scale. However, the simple consideration of the transformations that occur following the SCO at this scale or in its close vicinity does not allow anyone to truly understand, anticipate and thus take advantage of what happens at the scale of the material, and even less at the device one. As the fruit of years of work and experience on this phenomenon, we formalize here the concept of the multiscale understanding of SCO. Clearly, the deflagration generated by the initial impressive atomic modification on all the physical scales of the solid must be understood in terms of structure-properties relationships that fit together, like Russian dolls, and propagate according to a kind of domino effect. Each scale can both give different and independent consequences from those of the other scales but at the same time can influence those of a larger or smaller scale, the whole being imperatively to take into account. The concept appears well illustrated by the volume modification, always the same at the atomic level but drastically different and adaptable, in amplitude and sense, at any other physical scale. This approach results in a much wider range of potential applications than the atomic level alone initially suggests, including one serious path to shape memory materials.

Abstract
The iron(ii) salt [Fe(bpp)2](isonicNO)2·HisonicNO·5H2O (1) (bpp = 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine; isonicNO = isonicotinate N-oxide anion) undergoes a partial spin crossover (SCO) with symmetry breaking at T 1 = 167 K to a mixed-spin phase (50% high-spin (HS), 50% low-spin (LS)) that is metastable below T 2 = 116 K. Annealing the compound at lower temperatures results in a 100% LS phase that differs from the initial HS phase in the formation of a hydrogen bond (HB) between two water molecules (O4W and O5W) of crystallisation. Neutron crystallography experiments have also evidenced a proton displacement inside a short strong hydrogen bond (SSHB) between two isonicNO anions. Both phenomena can also be detected in the mixed-spin phase. 1 undergoes a light-induced excited-state spin trapping (LIESST) of the 100% HS phase, with breaking of the O4W⋯O5W HB and the onset of proton static disorder in the SSHB, indicating the presence of a light-induced activation energy barrier for proton motion. This excited state shows a stepped relaxation at T 1(LIESST) = 68 K and T 2(LIESST) = 76 K. Photocrystallography measurements after the first relaxation step reveal a single Fe site with an intermediate geometry, resulting from the random distribution of the HS and LS sites throughout the lattice.

Abstract
The current craze for research around the spin crossover phenomenon can be justified to some extent by the mechanical properties due to the decrease of volume associated with the transition of the metal ion from the HS state to the LS state. As demonstrated here, the molecular complex [Fe(PM-pBrA)2 (NCS)2 ] exhibits, on the contrary, an increase of the unit-cell volume from HS to LS. This counter-intuitive and unprecedented behavior that concerns both the thermal and the photoexcited spin conversions is revealed by a combination of single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction complemented by magnetic measurements. Interestingly, this abnormal volume change appears concomitant with the wide rotation of a phenyl ring which induces a drastic modification, though reversible, of the structural packing within the crystal. In addition, the light-induced HS state obtained through the Light-Induced Excited Spin-State Trapping shows a remarkably high relaxation temperature, namely T(LIESST), of 109 K, one of the highest so far reported. The above set of quite unusual characteristics opens up new fields of possibilities within the development of spin crossover materials.

Abstract
Domain wall motion is detected for the first time during the transition to a ferroelastic and spin state ordered phase of a spin crossover complex. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) revealed two distinct symmetry-breaking phase transitions in the mononuclear Mn3+ compound [Mn(3,5-diBr-sal2 (323))]BPh4 , 1. The first at 250 K, involves the space group change Cc→Pc and is thermodynamically continuous, while the second, Pc→P1 at 85 K, is discontinuous and related to spin crossover and spin state ordering. Stress-induced domain wall mobility was interpreted on the basis of a steep increase in acoustic loss immediately below the the Pc-P1 transition.

Abstract
Structural, magnetic and electromechanical changes resulting from spin crossover between the spin quintet and spin triplet forms of a mononuclear Mn3+complex embedded in six lattices with different charge balancing counterions are reported. Isostructural ClO4-and BF4-salts (1) and (2) each have two unique Mn3+sites which follow different thermal evolution pathways resulting in a crossover from the spin quintet form at room temperature to a 1:1 spin triplet:quintet ratio below 150 K. The PF6-(3) and NO3-(4) salts which each have one unique Mn3+site show a complete conversion from spin quintet to spin triplet over the same temperature range. A complete two step spin crossover is observed in the CF3SO3-lattice (5) with a 1:1 ratio of spin quintet and spin triplet forms at intermediate temperature, while the BPh4-lattice (6) stabilizes the spin triplet form over most of the temperature range with gradual and incomplete spin state switching above 250 K. An electromechanical piezoresponse was detected in NO3-complex4despite crystallization in a centrosymmetric space group. The role of deformations associated with stress-induced spin triplet-spin quintet switching in breaking the local symmetry are discussed and computational analysis is used to estimate the energy gap between the two spin states.

Abstract
The title compound (Me4N)[Fe{(2-py)3C- n-C18H37}(NCS)3] having a C18 chain underwent spin-crossover (SCO). There are two crystallographically independent molecules in a triclinic cell at 100 K but only one in a monoclinic cell at 300 K. The complex showed a gradual one-step SCO in the same temperature region as that of the structural transition. The SCO is supported with the 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The molecules are differentiated on cooling, but the SCO was synchronized.

Abstract
As a derivative of 2-picolylamine, which contains rich protons favouring hydrogen bond formation to assemble a variety of valuable spin crossover (SCO) compounds, 8-aminoquinoline (aqin) will be a good candidate for constructing new mononuclear bistable state compounds. With the guidance of this view, two solvated compounds [Fe(aqin)3](BPh4)2·2(CH3CN) (1·2CH3CN) and [Fe(aqin)3](BPh4)2·1.5(CH3COCH3) (2·1.5CH3COCH3) were synthesized. The structural characterization and magnetic studies demonstrate that this strategy has been successful. Single-crystal diffraction reveals that both the mononuclear compounds have facial (fac-)-configuration cations, which form hydrogen bonds using -NH2 groups with solvent molecules (acetonitrile or acetone). Subsequent magnetic measurement shows the highly sensitive solvent-dependent occurrence of a spin transition above room temperature for both compounds. Interestingly, for compound 1·2CH3CN, in the successively repeated heating and cooling process, by monitoring the loss of solvent molecules by TGA, the shifting of the spin transition curve is found to be linearly dependent on the fraction of the residual solvent content. Additionally, the desolvated sample can re-solvate with CH3CN and recover the magnetic response reproducibly. Furthermore, after losing the acetonitrile molecules, the single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation occurred to give 1.

Abstract
Cooperativity is key in defining the shape (i.e., gradual, abrupt, or hysteretic) of thermally driven spin transitions in magnetic switches. Despite its importance, there is very little information on its atomistic origin, which hinders the rational design of materials displaying a bistability region (i.e., hysteresis). In this paper, we investigate the spin transition of two solvatomorphs of [Fe(2-pic)3]Cl2, an Fe(II)-complex displaying thermal spin crossover (SCO) from a low-spin (LS) to a high-spin (HS) state with either gradual or abrupt two-step character. To do it, we apply a novel computational protocol to study the cooperativity of SCO compounds from DFT calculations, which does not rely on a priori assumptions on the studied system. The distinct shape of the spin transition is successfully captured, and the atomistic origin of cooperativity is traced back to geometrical distortions of the Fe-N6 core in case of the solvatomorph exhibiting an abrupt transition. According to our calculations, HS and LS molecules contribute differently to cooperativity, which results in a complex energetic evolution of the spin transition that cannot be described by the common Slichter-Drickamer model. The present work opens new avenues for the study of cooperativity of SCO systems having a chemically oriented perspective and demonstrates that quantum chemistry calculations can discriminate the shape of a spin transition, while providing insight into the atomistic underlying factors that contribute to its cooperative behavior.

Abstract
Crystalline [FeL2 ][BF4 ]2 ⋅Me2 CO (L=N-[2,6-di{pyrazol-1-yl}pyrid-4-yl]acetamide) is high-spin at room temperature, and undergoes an abrupt, hysteretic spin-crossover at T1/2 =137 K (ΔT1/2 =14 K) that proceeds to about 50 % completeness. This is associated with a crystallographic phase transition, from phase 1 (P21 /c, Z=4) to phase 2 (P21 , Z=48). The cations associate into chains in the crystal through weak intermolecular π⋅⋅⋅π interactions. Phase 2 contains a mixture of high-spin and low-spin molecules, which are grouped into triads along these chains. The perchlorate salt [FeL2 ][ClO4 ]2 ⋅Me2 CO also adopts phase 1 at room temperature but undergoes a different phase transition near 135 K to phase 3 (P21 /c, Z=8) without a change in spin state.

Abstract
The thermosalient effect (crystal jumping on heating) attracts much attention as both an intriguing academic phenomenon and in relation to its potential for the development of molecular actuators but its mechanism remains unclear. 1,2,4,5-Tetrabromobenzene (TBB) is one of the most extensively studied thermosalient compounds that has been shown previously to undergo a phase transition on heating, accompanied by crystal jumping and cracking. The difference in the crystal structures and intermolecular interaction energies of the low- and high-temperature phases is, however, too small to account for the large stress that arises over the course of the transformation. The energy is released spontaneously, and crystals jump across distances that exceed the crystal size by orders of magnitude. In the present work, the anisotropy of lattice strain is followed across the phase transition by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, focusing on the structural evolution from 273 to 343 K. A pronounced lattice softening is observed close to the transition point, with the structure becoming more rigid immediately after the phase transition. The diffraction studies are further supported by theoretical analysis of pairwise intermolecular energies and zone-centre lattice vibrations. Only three modes are found to monotonically soften up to the phase transition, with complex behaviour exhibited by the remaining lattice modes. The thermosalient effect is delayed with respect to the structural transformation itself. This can originate from the martensitic mechanism of the transformation, and the accumulation of stress associated with vibrational switching across the phase transition. The finding of this study sheds more light on the nature of the thermosalient effect in 1,2,4,5-tetrabromobenzene and can be applicable also to other thermosalient compounds.

Abstract
The complex relaxation from the photoinduced high-spin phase (PIHS) to the low-spin phase of the bimetallic two-dimensional coordination spin-crossover polymer [Fe[(Hg(SCN)3)2](4,4'-bipy)2]n is reported. During the thermal relaxation, commensurate and incommensurate spin-state concentration waves (SSCWs) form. However, contrary to the steps forming at thermal equilibrium, associated with long-range SSCW order, the SSCWs forming during the relaxation from the PIHS phase correspond to short-range order, revealed by diffuse X-ray scattering. This is interpreted as resulting from the competition between the two types of SSCW order and another structural symmetry breaking, due to ligand ordering, occurring at low temperature and precluding long-range SSCW order.
