Abstract
Following a published synthesis of 2,6-bis(imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl)pyridine (L1), treatment of α,α'-dibromo-2,6-diacetylpyridine with 2 equiv. 2-aminopyrimidine or 2-aminoquinoline in refluxing acetonitrile respectively gives 2,6-bis(imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl)pyridine (L2) and 2,6-bis(imidazo[1,2-a]quinolin-2-yl)pyridine (L3). Solvated crystals of [Fe(L1)2][BF4]2 (1[BF4]2) and [Fe(L2)2][BF4]2 (2[BF4]2) are mostly high-spin, although one solvate of 1[BF4]2 undergoes thermal spin-crossover on cooling. The iron coordination geometry is consistently distorted in crystals of 2[BF4]2 which may reflect the influence of intramolecular, inter-ligand N⋯π interactions on the molecular conformation. Only 1 : 1 Fe : L3 complexes were observed in solution, or isolated in the solid state; a crystal structure of [FeBr(py)2L3]Br·0.5H2O (py = pyridine) is presented. A solvate crystal structure of high-spin [Fe(L4)2][BF4]2 (L4 = 2,6-di{quinolin-2-yl}pyridine; 4[BF4]2) is also described, which exhibits a highly distorted six-coordinate geometry with a helical ligand conformation. The iron(II) complexes are high-spin in solution at room temperature, but 1[BF4]2 and 2[BF4]2 undergo thermal spin-crossover equilibria on cooling. All the compounds exhibit a ligand-based emission in solution at room temperature. Gas phase DFT calculations mostly reproduce the spin state properties of the complexes, but show small anomalies attributed to intramolecular, inter-ligand dispersion interactions in the sterically crowded molecules.

Abstract
Di(trispyrazolylborato)iron(II) ([Tp2Fe]) complexes represent one of the most robust classes of spin-crossover complexes. Their stability renders them particularly suitable for integration in nanoscale devices, e.g. as sensors or information storage units. While prior studies of the functionalization of those derivatives have been focused on the electronic and steric effects of alkyl and -CF3 groups in position 3, a pyrazole exchange reaction between nitropyrazole and either trispyrazolylborate or its iron complex allows the regioselective installation of nitro substituents in positions 3, 4 and 5 of the [Tp2Fe] complexes. The degree of substitution can be varied from 1 to 4 functionalized pyrazoles per complex. The amine-functionalized analogues are accessed by reduction of the nitro analogues under hydrogen transfer conditions. With the exception of di- and tetra-3-NO2 substituted complexes, all derivatives display spin crossover properties in the solid state, with transition temperatures ranging from 180 to 380 K and showing different degrees of abruptness but no hysteresis. The Slichter-Drickamer model was used to extract the empirical thermodynamic transition parameters, allowing a systematic investigation of the influence of stoichiometry, position, and electronic nature of the substitution on the magnetic properties of the complexes. The steric effects dominate for substitution in position 3 but the electronic effects are significant for the other positions.

Abstract
Spin-crossover compounds are becoming increasingly popular for device and sensor applications, and in soft materials, that make use of their switchable colour, paramagnetism and conductivity. The de novo design of new solid spin-crossover compounds with pre-defined switching properties is desirable for application purposes. This challenging problem of crystal engineering requires an understanding of how the temperature and cooperativity of a spin-transition are influenced by the structure of the bulk material. Towards that end, this critical review presents a survey of molecular spin-crossover compounds with good availability of crystallographic data. A picture is emerging that changes in molecular shape between the high- and low-spin states, and the ability of a lattice to accommodate such changes, can play an important role in determining the existence and the cooperativity of a thermal spin-transition in the solid state (198 references).

Abstract
The preparation of a resin-supported boron-scorpionate ligand and its nickel(II) coordination complexes are reported. The supported ligand is prepared as its potassium salt, making it a general reagent suitable for chelation of any transition metal ion. Resin-immobilized benzotriazole (Bead-btz) reacted cleanly with KTp* (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) by heterocycle metathesis in warm dimethylformamide (DMF) to yield bead-Tp'K, {resin-btz(H)B(pz*)(2)}K. Significantly, bead-Tp'K readily bound nickel(II) from simple salts with minimal leaching of the nickel ion. Bead-Tp'NiNO(3) reacts further with cysteine thiolate (ethyl ester), imparting the deep green color to the beads characteristic of a Tp(R)NiCysEt coordination sphere. Bead-Tp'NiCysEt exhibited an oxygen sensitivity similar to Tp*NiCysEt in solution (Inorg. Chem. 1999, p 5690) and also independently verified for a selenocystamine analogue, Tp*NiSeCysAm. Addition of fresh cysteine thiolate ethyl ester to oxidized bead-Tp'NiCysEt reproduced the original green color. Heterocycle metathesis was also used to prepare KTp' as a white solid. Reaction with nickel(II) gave (Tp')(2)Ni, separable into two different isomers. The air-sensitive molybdenum(0) complex, [PPh(4)][Tp'Mo(CO)(3)], was also prepared and the C(s) complex symmetry demonstrated by infrared and (13)C NMR spectroscopies. Immobilized TpmMo(CO)(3) was prepared from the previously reported resin-supported tris(pyrazolyl)methane. In contrast to its weak coordination of nickel(II) (Inorg. Chem. 2009, p 3535), bead-Tpm proved a strong chelate toward this second row metal. The supported scorpionates described here should find use in studies of selective metal-protein binding, metalloprotein modeling, and heterogeneous catalysis, and render such scorpionate applications amenable to combinatorial methods.

Abstract
Iron(II) poly(pyrazolyl)borate complexes have been investigated to determine the impact of substituent effects, intramolecular ligand distortions, and intermolecular supramolecular structures on the spin-state crossover (SCO) behavior. The molecular structure of Fe[HB(3,4,5-Me3pz)3]2 (pz = pyrazolyl ring), a complex known to remain high spin when the temperature is lowered, reveals that this complex has an intramolecular ring-twist distortion that is not observed in analogous complexes that do exhibit a SCO at low temperatures, thus indicating that this distortion greatly influences the properties of these complexes. The structure of Fe[B(3-(cy)Prpz)4]2.(CH3OH) ((cy)Pr = cyclopropyl ring) at 294 K has two independent molecules in the unit cell, both of which are high spin; only one of these high-spin iron(II) sites, the site with the lesser ring-twist distortion, is observed to be low-spin iron(II) in the 90 K structure. A careful evaluation of the supramolecular structures of these complexes and several similar complexes reported previously revealed no strong correlation between the supramolecular packing forces and their SCO behavior. Magnetic and Mössbauer spectral measurements on Fe[B(3-(cy)Prpz)4]2 and Fe[HB(3-(cy)Prpz)3]2 indicate that both complexes exhibit a partial SCO from fully high-spin iron(II) at higher temperatures, respectively, to a 50:50 high-spin/low-spin mixture of iron(II) below 100 K. These results may be understood, in the former case, by the differences in ring-twisting and, in the latter case, by a phase transition; in all complexes in which a phase transition is observed, this change dominates the SCO behavior. A comparison of the Mössbauer spectral properties of these two complexes and of Fe[HB(3-Mepz)3]2 with that of other complexes reveals correlations between the Mössbauer-effect isomer shift and the average Fe-N bond distance and between the quadrupole splitting and the average FeN-NB intraligand dihedral torsion angles and the distortion of the average N-Fe-N intraligand bond angles.

Abstract
Electrochemical, magnetic, and spectroscopic properties are reported for homoleptic divalent (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru) and trivalent (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) metal-bis[poly(pyrazolyl)borate] complexes, [M(pzb)(2)](+/0), where pzb(-) = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp), hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate (Tp), or tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate (pzTp). Ligand field strengths in metal-pzb complexes increase as Tp < Tp < pzTp, which reflects the importance of steric rather than electronic effects on spectroscopic properties. However, metal-centered redox potentials become more negative as pzTp < Tp < Tp, which follows the electron-donating ability of the ligands. Co(III)/Co(II) and Mn(III)/Mn(II) electrode reactions are accompanied by a change in metal atom spin-state; i.e., (S = 0) [Co(pzb)(2)](+) + e(-) <==> (S = 3/2) [Co(pzb)(2)] and (S = 1) [Mn(pzb)(2)](+) + e(-) <==> (S = 5/2) [Mn(pzb)(2)]. Apparent heterogeneous electron-transfer rate constants derived from sweep-rate dependent cyclic voltammetric peak potential separations in 1,2-dichloroethane are small and decrease as pzTp > Tp > Tp for the Co(III)/Co(II) couples. Slow electron transfer is characteristic of coupled electron transfer and spin exchange. [M(Tp)(2)](+/0) redox potentials relative to values for other homoleptic MN(6)(3+/2+) couples change as M varies from Cr to Ni. For early members of the series, [M(Tp)(2)](+/0) potentials nearly equal those of complexes with aliphatic N-donor ligands (e.g., triazacyclononane, sarcophagine). However, [M(Tp)(2)](+/0) potentials approach those of [M(bpy)(3)](3+/2+) for later members of the series. The variation suggests a change in the nature of the metal-pzb interaction upon crossing the first transition row.
