Abstract
Spin crossover (SCO) complexes are prototypes of materials with bi- or multi-stability in the solid state. The structural evolution during their spin transition is a key feature to establish the foundations of how to utilize this type of material. So far, ultrafast time-resolved structural investigations of SCO solids have been focused on monometallic complexes, though an increasing number of oligometallic SCO complexes showing cooperativity effects are being reported. Here, we used single crystal X-ray crystallography and time-resolved pink Laue photocrystallography to study the molecular reorganisation during the thermal and photoinduced SCO of a [2 × 2] tetranuclear metallogrid of the form [FeII4LMe4](BF4)4·2MeCN ([LMe]- = 4-methyl-3,5-bis{6-(2,2'-bipyridyl)}pyrazolate). A multitemperature crystallographic investigation on single crystals reveals an effective communication between the metal centres during thermal SCO, observed by the simultaneous transformation of the coordination polyhedra of both crystallographic-symmetry independent metal atoms accompanying the SCO in only one of them. Time-resolved photocrystallography results reveal the different molecular responses between mononuclear and oligonuclear complexes, after light irradiation with a picosecond laser pulse. While mononuclear SCO complexes reorganise once during the first nanosecond after excitation, the tetranuclear metallogrid exhibits a multiple structural rearrangement in the same span of time. Such behaviour is attributed to the elastic communication between metal atoms, which allows the propagation of a short-range elastic distortion over the entire Fe4 grid complex. The present study sheds light on the importance of strong elastic coupling of metal atoms during the correlated spin transition of oligometallic complexes.

Abstract
Metal complexes with a [n × n] gridlike structure are discussed as attractive building blocks for various materials chemistry applications in molecular nanotechnology and electronics, which often rely on the grids' magnetic and redox properties. Most of the known metallogrids are homometallic, though heterometallic systems that comprise two or more different metals promise higher level functionalities. However, heterometallic [n × n] grids are relatively rare, mostly because of the more challenging synthetic strategies. To that end a new heterometallic [2 × 2] grid complex [L4Ru2Co2](BF4)4 (2) based on a known pyrazolate-bridged bis(tridentate) compartmental N-donor ligand [L]- is presented in this work, along with its doubly oxidized congener [L4Ru2Co2](BF4)6 (3). In order to prevent scrambling of the different metal ions, a stepwise synthetic approach was implemented in which an inert RuII "corner complex" [(HL)2Ru](BF4)2 (1) was isolated first, followed by addition of the more labile CoII. This exclusively yields the desired [L4Ru2Co2]4+ with anti-topology, viz., with the RuII and CoII ions situated at opposite corners of the [2 × 2] grid, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 2 can be sequentially oxidized four times, first at the Co vertices and then at the Ru vertices. 1H NMR spectroscopy as well as ESI mass spectrometry evidenced integrity of the [L4Ru2Co2]4+/6+ grids in solution. Structural and magnetic analyses revealed that paramagnetic 2 features LS-RuII and HS-CoII ions (LS = low-spin, HS = high-spin) whereas LS-RuII and LS-CoIII ions are present in diamagnetic 3. The LS-RuII ions in 2 serve to magnetically isolate the HS-CoII whose coordination geometry is strongly distorted from octahedral. A large and negative axial zero-field splitting value (D = -64 cm-1) for the local S = 3/2 ions is shown to lead to single molecule magnetic (SMM) properties characterized by a barrier to spin inversion of Ueff = 8.8 cm-1 and a single relaxation process with τo = 3.1 × 10-5 s. Transition metal [2 × 2] grid complexes showing SMM behavior are extremely rare, and this is the first heterometallic 3d/4d grid system featuring such a magnetic signature.

Abstract
Synthesis towards the preparation of an unsymmetrical binucleating Schiff-base ligand, (H2L) is discussed. It has been synthesized by reacting methyl 6-(hydrazinecarbonyl)picolinate with 2-hydroxy acetophenone. The ligand (H2L) comprises two different asymmetric binding pockets; however, when reacted with Mn(ii), Co(ii), Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) salts, very stable self-assembled [2 × 2] grid complexes form regardless of the employed metal-to-ligand ratio. The obtained complexes [Mn4L4]·(CH3CN) (1), [Co4L4]·(CHCl3) (2), [Cu4L4]·(CHCl3) (3) and [Zn4L4] (4) have been fully characterized by physicochemical methods, including ESI mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallographic analyses, and their EPR, magnetic and redox properties are discussed. All discussed complexes self-assembled in a 'head-to-tail' fashion leading to [2 × 2] grid architectures. Mn, Co and Cu grid complexes show weak to moderate antiferromagnetic coupling among the four metal centers. The high stability of the grid structures is in line with the lack of any observable dissociation or exchange between metal ions in solution. Complexes 1 and 2 show four quasi-reversible to irreversible oxidative responses in cyclic voltammograms at a glassy carbon working electrode in 1,2-dichlorobenzene and at a platinum working electrode in dichloromethane, respectively.
