Abstract
Highly efficient transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals is considered a promising route for clean production and future energy sustainability, which is crucial for realizing a carbon-neutral economy. It remains a great challenge to develop highly stable and active catalysts with low-cost, environmentally friendly, and nontoxic materials for catalytic conversion of CO2. Herein, a precious-metal-free and heterogeneous MOF (LTG-FeZr) catalyst, composed of bis(terpyridine)iron(II) complexes and zirconium(IV) ions, was designed and prepared via a metalloligand approach. LTG-FeZr, with a robust framework and regular 1D channels not only can achieve the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to HCOOH with a high conversion rate (up to 265 μmol·g-1·h-1) under visible-light irradiation but also exhibits exceptional catalytic activities toward the synthesis of cyclic carbonates via cycloaddition reactions of various epoxides and CO2 in the absence of light. Possible mechanisms for two different conversion processes of CO2 catalyzed by LTG-FeZr have been proposed. LTG-FeZr represents an ideal dual-function MOF platform for the catalytic conversion and utilization of CO2 in all weather conditions.

Abstract
Chelating ligands and most specifically pincer ligands, with their characteristic co-planar binding, usually undergo deformations upon coordination, resulting in a significant ligand strain. Such an effect on the properties of the so formed complex has rarely been explored. This study is an attempt to analyze this strain and its contribution to the overall binding energy and coordination behavior of PSP pincer ligands. Hence, we designed a rigid thioxanthone-based PSP pincer ligand (I) and studied the difference in the coordination properties with the more flexible thioxanthene and thioether-based PSP pincer ligands (II and III). Although with one equivalent of Pd(II) precursor, the three ligands exhibited a similar coordination behavior leading to similar κ3-P,S,P pincer complexes, an in-depth computational analysis pointed out the different contributions of the internal strain energy in lowering the binding energy of these complexes. This effect was clearly reflected when we calculated the enthalpy change of these ligand-exchange reactions. As these exchange reactions are enthalpy-driven, these results could also be confirmed experimentally. With two equivalents of Pd(II), the three ligands diverged in their coordination behavior. Specifically, ligands I and III gave each a binuclear complex, with different coordination modes, whereas the pincer complex of ligand II remained unaffected by excess of Pd(II). Our calculations suggest that the driving force for the formation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes is the relief of the internal ligand strain. With Pt(II), only the mononuclear κ3-P,S,P pincer complexes were obtained irrespectively of the amount of the Pt(II) precursor. In these cases, we assume that kinetic inertness of the formed mononuclear pincer Pt(II) complexes prevents binding of an additional Pt(II) nucleus. This study points out the important role of the internal ligand strain in PSP pincer ligand coordination behavior. We believe that our findings can be extended to other pincer ligands systems as well.

Abstract
Iron(II) complex salts of 2,6-di(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)pyridine (L1) are unexpectedly unstable in undried solvent. This is explained by the isolation of [Fe(L1)4(H2O)2][ClO4]2 and [Fe(NCS)2(L1)2(H2O)2]·L1, containing L1 bound as a monodentate ligand rather than in the expected tridentate fashion. These complexes associate into 44 grid structures through O-H···N hydrogen bonding; a solvate of a related 44 coordination framework, catena-[Cu(μ-L1)2(H2O)2][BF4]2, is also presented. The isomeric ligands 2,6-di(1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridine (L2) and 2,6-di(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (L3) bind to iron(II) in a more typical tridentate fashion. Solvates of [Fe(L3)2][ClO4]2 are low-spin and diamagnetic in the solid state and in solution, while [Fe(L2)2][ClO4]2 and [Co(L3)2][BF4]2 are fully high-spin. Treatment of L3 with methyl iodide affords 2,6-di(2-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (L4) and 2-(1-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-6-(2-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine (L5). While salts of [Fe(L5)2]2+ are low-spin in the solid state, [Fe(L4)2][ClO4]2·H2O is high-spin, and [Fe(L4)2][ClO4]2·3MeNO2 exhibits a hysteretic spin transition to 50% completeness at T1/2 = 128 K (ΔT1/2 = 6 K). This transition proceeds via a symmetry-breaking phase transition to an unusual low-temperature phase containing three unique cation sites with high-spin, low-spin, and 1:1 mixed-spin populations. The unusual distribution of the spin states in the low-temperature phase reflects "spin-state frustration" of the mixed-spin cation site by an equal number of high-spin and low-spin nearest neighbors. Gas-phase density functional theory calculations reproduce the spin-state preferences of these and some related complexes. These highlight the interplay between the σ-basicity and π-acidity of the heterocyclic donors in this ligand type, which have opposing influences on the molecular ligand field. The Brønsted basicities of L1-L3 are very sensitive to the linkage isomerism of their triazolyl donors, which explains why their iron complex spin states show more variation than the better-known iron(II)/2,6-dipyrazolylpyridine system.

Abstract
This report investigates homoleptic iron(II) complexes of thiazolinyl analogues of chiral PyBox tridentate ligands: 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1Ph), 2,6-bis(4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1iPr), and 2,6-bis(4-tert-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (L1t-Bu). Crystallographic data imply the larger and more flexible thiazolinyl rings reduce steric clashes between the R substituents in homochiral [Fe((R)-L1R)2]2+ or [Fe((S)-L1R)2]2+ (R = Ph, iPr, or t-Bu), compared to their PyBox (L2R) analogues. Conversely, the larger heterocyclic S atoms are in close contact with the R substituents in heterochiral [Fe((R)-L1Ph)((S)-L1Ph)]2+, giving it a more sterically hindered ligand environment than that in [Fe((R)-L2Ph)((S)-L2Ph)]2+ (L2Ph = 2,6-bis(4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)pyridine). Preformed [Fe((R)-L1Ph)((S)-L1Ph)]2+ and [Fe((R)-L1iPr)((S)-L1iPr)]2+ do not racemize by ligand redistribution in CD3CN solution, but homochiral [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ and [Fe(L1t-Bu)2]2+ both undergo partial ligand displacement in that solvent. Homochiral [Fe(L1Ph)2]2+ and [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ exhibit spin-crossover equilibria in CD3CN, centered at 344 ± 6 K and 277 ± 1 K respectively, while their heterochiral congeners are essentially low-spin within the liquid range of the solvent. These data imply that the diastereomers of [Fe(L1Ph)2]2+ and [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ show a greater difference in their spin-state behaviors than was previous found for [Fe(L2Ph)2]2+. Gas-phase DFT calculations (B86PW91/def2-SVP) of the [Fe(L1R)2]2+ and [Fe(L2R)2]2+ complexes reproduce most of the observed trends, but they overstabilize the high-spin state of SCO-active [Fe(L1iPr)2]2+ by ca. 1.5 kcal mol-1. This might reflect the influence of intramolecular dispersion interactions on the spin states of these compounds. Attempts to model this with the dispersion-corrected functionals B97-D2 or PBE-D3 were less successful than our original protocol, confirming that the spin states of sterically hindered molecules are a challenging computational problem.

Abstract
The ability to identify promising candidate switchable molecules computationally, prior to synthesis, represents a considerable advance in the development of switchable molecular materials. Even more useful would be the possibility of predicting the switching temperature. Cobalt-dioxolene complexes can exhibit thermally induced valence tautomeric switching between low-spin CoIII-catecholate and high-spin CoII-semiquinonate forms, where the half-temperature (T1/2) is the temperature at which there are equal amounts of the two tautomers. We report the first simple computational strategy for accurately predicting T1/2 values for valence tautomeric complexes. Dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) methods have been applied to the [Co(dbdiox)(dbsq)(N2L)] (dbdiox/dbsq•- = 3,5-di-tert-butyldioxolene/semiquinonate; N2L = diimine) family of valence tautomeric complexes, including the newly reported [Co(dbdiox)(dbsq)(MeO-bpy)] (1) (MeO-bpy = 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine). The DFT strategy has been thoroughly benchmarked to experimental data, affording highly accurate spin-distributions and an excellent energy match between experimental and calculated spin-states. Detailed orbital analysis of the [Co(dbdiox)(dbsq)(N2L)] complexes has revealed that the diimine ligand tunes the T1/2 value primarily through π-acceptance. We have established an excellent correlation between experimental T1/2(toluene) values for [Co(dbdiox)(dbsq)(N2L)] complexes and the calculated lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy of the corresponding diimine ligand. The model affords accurate T1/2(toluene) values for [Co(dbdiox)(dbsq)(N2L)] complexes, with an average error of only 3.7%. This quantitative and simple DFT strategy allows experimentalists to not only rapidly identify proposed VT complexes but also predict the transition temperature. This study lays the groundwork for future in silico screening of candidate switchable molecules prior to experimental investigation, with associated time, cost, and environmental benefits.

Abstract
A series of new bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines (LR) N,N′-disubstituted by 4-functionalized 2,6-dibromophenyl groups have been synthesized to study the effect of a distal substituent on the spin-crossover (SCO) behaviour of the iron(II) complexes [Fe(LR)2](ClO4)2 by variable-temperature magnetometry, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The SCO-assisting tendency of the substituents with different electronic and steric properties (i.e., the bromine atom and the methyl group) in the para-position of the 2,6-dibromophenyl group is discussed. Together with earlier reported SCO-active iron(II) complexes with N,N′-disubstituted bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines, these new complexes open the way for this family of SCO compounds to emerge as an effective ‘tool’ in revealing structure–function relations, a prerequisite for successful molecular design of switchable materials for future breakthrough applications in sensing, switching, and memory devices.

Abstract
The reaction between 2,5-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyrrole and Me3SiN3 gave the new pyrrole-based bis(phosphinimine) L1H in an excellent yield. L1H reacts with [CuCl(COD)]2, AgBF4, or AgOTf to give the corresponding two-coordinate mononuclear ionic complex formulated as [M{(L1H)-κ2N,N}]+[X]- where M = Cu and Ag; X = [CuCl2], BF4 or OTf. Their single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the two-coordinate geometry formed by the chelate bonding mode of L1H. These 10-membered metalacycles exhibit planar chirality and were also characterized by spectroscopic methods. In addition, in all three structures, there exists a hitherto unknown π-interaction between the pyrrole ring atoms and metal, represented as η2-(Cα-N) in the copper(i) complex, and η3-(Cα-N-Cα') in the silver(i) complexes. These weak interactions were supported by DFT calculations in terms of their electron densities, non-covalent interaction plots and the decrease in the aromaticity of the pyrrole ring.

Abstract
A series of three different solvatomorphs of a new iron(II) complex with N,N′-disubstituted 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, including those with the same lattice solvent, has been identified by X-ray diffraction under the same crystallization conditions with the metal ion trapped in the different spin states. A thermally induced switching between them, however, occurs in a solution, as unambiguously confirmed by the Evans technique and an analysis of paramagnetic chemical shifts, both based on variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The observed stabilization of the high-spin state by an electron-donating substituent contributes to the controversial results for the iron(II) complexes of 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines, preventing ‘molecular’ design of their spin-crossover activity; the synthesized complex being only the fourth of the spin-crossover (SCO)-active kind with an N,N′-disubstituted ligand.

Abstract
The development of new spin-crossover complexes provides novel promising switching materials with significant potential at the molecular level. Ter-imine-type molecules represent one of the important classes of ligands in creating SCO-active complexes. Herein we report a family of mononuclear Fe(II) SCO-active compounds constructed from a new type of ter-imine ligand named the thio-pybox ligand (2,6-bis(4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydrothiazol-2-yl)pyridine, L1). Through the variation of counteranions, some cases display complete SCO and with T1/2 near ambient temperature. Among them, annealed [FeII(L1)2](ClO4)2 [1(ClO4)] shows T1/2↓ and T1/2↑ as 319 and 349 K, respectively. The wide thermal hysteresis of ΔT = 30 K originated from the weak interaction between complex cations and counteranions in the crystal lattice. Impressively, its high-spin population can be increased considerably by annealing at high temperature. The metastable high-spin phase is stable in the successive magnetic measurements and would gradually relax to its initial state with high population of low-spin configuration at ambient temperature. In acetonitrile-diluted solution, 1(ClO4) still maintains SCO with an estimated T1/2 at 240 K. Differential scanning calorimetry discloses the structural phase at around 355 K in the first heating process and the increase in the high-spin population concomitant with annealing was also corroborated by 57Fe Mössbauer measurements. Additionally, the influences on SCO by counteranion and ligand structure are investigated, which show that the fine tuning of complex structures can affect the behavior of the spin state significantly. Finally, magneto-structural correlation studies were performed on the structures of 1(ClO4) and its oxygen analogue at multiple temperatures. The analyses of some structural parameters, including terminal N···N donor separation, bite angle, patulous angle, and the root mean squared deviation indicate that the replacement of the oxygen atom with a sulfur atom can effectively improve the flexibility and release the steric strain and thus tune the SCO toward ambient temperature. Our research demonstrates the rational design of the ligand can lead to new SCO-active compounds with high performance.

Abstract
Here we report the first successful attempt to identify spin-crossover compounds in solutions of metal complexes produced by mixing different ligands and an appropriate metal salt by variable-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Screening the spin state of a cobalt(II) ion in a series of thus obtained homoleptic and heteroleptic compounds of terpyridines (terpy) and 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines (3-bpp) by using this NMR-based approach, which only relies on the temperature behavior of chemical shifts, revealed the first cobalt(II) complexes with a 3-bpp ligand to undergo a thermally induced spin-crossover. A simple analysis of NMR spectra collected from mixtures of different compounds without their isolation or purification required by the current method of choice, the Evans technique, thus emerges as a powerful tool in a search for new spin-crossover compounds and their molecular design boosted by wide possibilities for chemical modifications in heteroleptic complexes.

Abstract
The molecular design of spin-crossover complexes relies on controlling the spin state of a transition metal ion by proper chemical modifications of the ligands. Herein, the first N,N'-disubstituted 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridines (3-bpp) are reported that, against the common wisdom, induce a spin-crossover in otherwise high-spin iron(II) complexes by increasing the steric demand of a bulky substituent, an ortho-functionalized phenyl group. As N,N'-disubstituted 3-bpp complexes have no pendant NH groups that make their spin state extremely sensitive to the environment, the proposed ligand design, which may be applicable to isomeric 1-bpp or other families of popular bi-, tri- and higher denticity ligands, opens the way for their molecular design as spin-crossover compounds for future breakthrough applications.

Abstract
A family of five easily prepared tridentate monoanionic 2,5-dipyridyl-3-(R1)-4-(R2)-pyrrolide anions (dppR1,R2)-, varying in the nature of the R1 and R2 substituents [R1, R2 = CN, Ph; CO2Et, CO2Et; CO2Me, 4-Py; CO2Me, Me; Me, Me], has been used to generate the analogous family of neutral [CoII(dppR1,R2)2] complexes, two of which are structurally characterized at both 100 and 298 K. Both the oxidation and spin states of these complexes can be switched in response to appropriate external stimuli. All complexes, except [CoII(dppMe,Me)2], exhibit gradual spin crossover (SCO) in the solid state, and SCO activity is observed for three complexes in CDCl3 solution. The cobalt(II) centers in the low spin (LS) complexes are Jahn-Teller tetragonally compressed along the pyrrolide-Co-pyrrolide axis. The complexes in their high spin (HS) states are more distorted than in the LS states, as is also usually the case for SCO active iron(II) complexes. The reversible CoIII/II redox potentials are predictably tuned by choice of substituents R1 and R2, from -0.95 (Me,Me) to -0.45 (CN,Ph) V vs Fc+/Fc, with a linear correlation observed between E1/2(CoIII/II) and the Swain-Lupton parameters of the pyrrolide substituents.

Abstract
A first series of lanthanide complexes of tris(dipyridyl)pyrrolide ligands has been prepared. The [Ln(dppR1,R2)3] complexes (Ln = La(iii), Sm(iii), Eu(iii), Gd(iii) and Yb(iii); and dppR1,R2 = 2,5-di(2-pyridyl-3-(R1)-4-(R2)) pyrrolide) have been isolated and their structures and photophysical and redox properties characterised, both in the solid-state and in solution. In the complexes, the three dpp- ligands form a distorted tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination geometry about the lanthanide ions, with the antiparallel isomer observed in the solid state for non-symmetric (dppCO2Me,Me)-. However, 1H NMR spectroscopy of the diamagnetic and paramagnetic [Ln(dppR1,R2)3] complexes in d6-benzene solution reveal evidence for a statistical distribution of all possible isomers. Time-resolved luminescence studies suggest that the dpp- ligand (with triplet excited state T1 energy at 18 622 cm-1) sensitises red emission from [Eu(dppCO2Me,Me)3] and near-infrared emission from [Yb(dppCO2Me,Me)3] through the antenna effect. Cyclic voltammetry reveals three consecutive, reversible, one-electron oxidation processes for each [Ln(dppR1,R2)3] complex, corresponding to oxidations of each dpp- ligand between 0.3-0.8 V vs. E1/2 (Fc+/0), and for [Eu(dppCO2Me,Me)3] the EuIII/II couple was -2.099 V vs. E1/2 (Fc+/0).
