Abstract
A novel bis-bidentate nitronyl nitroxide radical based on triazolopyrimidine, NIT-2-TrzPm (NIT-2-TrzPm = (2-(2'-triazolopyrimidine)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-oxy-3-oxide)) and six new transition metal complexes of this ligand, namely [M(hfac)2(NIT-2-TrzPm)]·CH2Cl2 (M = Mn (1Mn) and Co (2Co)), [M(hfac)2]2(NIT-2-TrzPm) (M = Mn (3Mn) and Co (4Co)), [Mn(NIT-2-TrzPm)2(MeOH)2](ClO4)2·MeOH (5Mn), and [Co(NIT-2-TrzPm)2(MeOH)2]2(ClO4)4·4MeOH (6Co) were prepared and characterized structurally and magnetically. These complexes can be selectively synthesized by controlling the reaction ratio of M(hfac)2·2H2O to the radical ligand (for 1Mn to 4Co) or using metal perchlorates as the starting materials (for 5Mn and 6Co). Single crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses confirmed that 1Mn and 2Co are isostructural 3d-2p MII-radical complexes, in which the NIT-2-TrzPm radical acts as a terminal bidentate ligand chelating to one 3d ion, while 3Mn and 4Co are isostructural 3d-2p-3d MII-radical-MII complexes with the NIT-2-TrzPm radical acting as a bridging ligand between two 3d ions. For complexes 5Mn and 6Co, two NIT-2-TrzPm ligands from the equatorial positions coordinate with the metal center to form the 2p-3d-2p structures with the axial positions occupied by two methanol molecules. Magnetic analysis on the MnII complexes revealed the existence of a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the MnII and the NIT radical spin, while weak ferromagnetic coupling for Mn⋯Mn and Rad⋯Rad in the Mn-NIT-Mn and Rad-Mn-Rad spins was confirmed. Interestingly, although the NIT-bridged complexes 3Mn and 4Co possess significantly different magnetic anisotropy, field-induced slow magnetic relaxation can be observed in both complexes, which was assigned to the phonon bottleneck effect for 3Mn and field-induced SMM behavior for 4Co. To the best of our knowledge, 3Mn is the first example of the NIT-bridged binuclear MnII complex undergoing slow magnetic relaxation.

Abstract
High-throughput searches for spin-crossover molecules require Hubbard-U corrections to common density functional exchange-correlation (XC) approximations. However, the Ueff values obtained from linear response or based on previous studies overcorrect the spin-crossover energies. We demonstrate that employing a linearly mixed ensemble average spin state as the reference configuration for the linear response calculation of Ueff resolves this issue. Validation on a commonly used set of spin-crossover complexes shows that these ensemble Ueff values consistently are smaller than those calculated directly on a pure spin state, irrespective of whether that be low- or high-spin. Adiabatic crossover energies using this methodology for a generalized gradient approximation XC functional are closer to the expected target energy range than with conventional Ueff values. Based on the observation that the Ueff correction is similar for different complexes that share transition metals with the same oxidation state, we devise a set of recommended averaged Ueff values for high-throughput calculations.

Abstract
Heterospin systems have a great advantage in frontier orbital engineering since they utilize a wide diversity of paramagnetic chromophores and almost infinite combinations and mutual geometries. Strong exchange couplings are expected in 3d–2p heterospin compounds, where the nitroxide (aminoxyl) oxygen atom has a direct coordination bond with a nickel(II) ion. Complex formation of nickel(II) salts and tert-butyl 2-pyridyl nitroxides afforded a discrete 2p–3d–2p triad. Ferromagnetic coupling is favored when the magnetic orbitals, nickel(II) dσ and radical π*, are arranged in a strictly orthogonal fashion, namely, a planar coordination structure is characterized. In contrast, a severe twist around the coordination bond gives an orbital overlap, resulting in antiferromagnetic coupling. Non-chelatable nitroxide ligands are available for highly twisted and practically diamagnetic complexes. Here, the Ni–O–N–Csp2 torsion (dihedral) angle is supposed to be a useful metric to describe the nickel ion dislocated out of the radical π* nodal plane. Spin-transition complexes exhibited a planar coordination structure in a high-temperature phase and a nonplanar structure in a low-temperature phase. The gradual spin transition is described as a spin equilibrium obeying the van’t Hoff law. Density functional theory calculation indicates that the energy level crossing of the high- and low-spin states. The optimized structures of diamagnetic and high-spin states well agreed with the experimental large and small torsions, respectively. The novel mechanism of the present spin transition lies in the ferro-/antiferromagnetic coupling switch. The entropy-driven mechanism is plausible after combining the results of the related copper(II)-nitroxide compounds. Attention must be paid to the coupling parameter J as a variable of temperature in the magnetic analysis of such spin-transition materials. For future work, the exchange coupling may be tuned by chemical modification and external stimulus, because it has been clarified that the parameter is sensitive to the coordination structure and actually varies from 2J/kB = +400 K to −1400 K.

Abstract
Spin crossover complexes containing 3d4-3d7 transition metal ions with tunable electronic configurations in appropriate ligand field environments have been extensively investigated. In contrast, the development of 3d8 divalent nickel complexes displaying such a spin crossover behavior is far behind. The increasing number of X-ray single crystal structures along with magnetic evidence and thermodynamic equilibrium indicate that bistable divalent nickel complexes are gradually recognized to be a formal member of the "spin crossover family". Unfortunately, the rarity of nickel spin crossover complexes is occasionally mentioned. This Perspective article highlights examples of mononuclear 3d8 nickel spin crossover complexes in dynamic rearrangements with characterized solid state structures from the viewpoint of types of ligands utilized.

Abstract
Complex formation of nickel(II) tetrafluoroborate and tert-butyl 5-phenyl-2-pyridyl nitroxide (phpyNO) in the presence of sodium cyanate gave a discrete molecule [Ni(phpyNO)2(X)2] (X = NCO). The Ni-O-N-Csp2 torsion angles were reduced on heating; 33.5(5)° and 36.2(4)° at 100 K vs. 25.7(10)° and 32.3(11)° at 400 K. The magnetic behavior was almost diamagnetic below ca. 100 K, and the χmT value reached 1.04 cm3 K mol-1 at 400 K. An analysis using the van't Hoff equation indicates a possible spin transition at T1/2 >> 400 K. Density functional theory calculation shows that the singlet-quintet energy gap decreases as the structural change from 100 to 400 K. The geometry optimization results suggest that the diamagnetic state has the Ni-O-N-Csp2 torsion angles of 32.7° while the Stotal = 2 state has those of 11.9°. The latter could not be experimentally observed even at 400 K. After overviewing the results on the known X = Br, Cl, and NCS derivatives, the magnetic behavior is described in a common phase diagram. The Br and Cl compounds undergo the energy level crossing of the high-/low-spin states, but the NCS and NCO compounds do not in a conventional experimental temperature range. The spin transition mechanism in this series involves the exchange coupling switch between ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions, corresponding to the high- and low-spin phases, respectively.

Abstract
Reaction of nickel(ii) thiocyanate and tert-butyl 5-phenyl-2-pyridyl nitroxide (phpyNO) afforded a 2p–3d–2p heterospin triad [Ni(phpyNO)2(NCS)2]. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The whole molecule is crystallographically independent. The torsion angles around Ni–O–N–C2py are 26.8(4) and 27.3(4)° at 400 K, indicating appreciable orbital overlaps of the radical π* and nickel(ii) 3dx2−y2/3dz2 orbitals. In a low-temperature region, the torsion was enhanced, and the space group changed to monoclinic P21/c with a doubled asymmetric unit volume. The χmT value was practically null below ca. 140 K and, on heating to 400 K, gradually increased and reached 1.30 cm3 K mol−1. A van't Hoff analysis suggests a spin transition at T1/2 = 530(20) K. Density functional theory calculation reproduced ground Stotal = 0 with singlet-triplet gaps of 910 and 1263 K for the 140 K structure, and the gap was reduced to 297 K at 400 K. Consequently, the present compound can be considered as an incomplete spin-crossover material, as a result of T1/2 located above the experimental temperature window. The exchange coupling in [Ni(phpyNO)2(NCS)2] is strongly antiferromagnetic in a low-temperature structure whilst moderately antiferromagnetic in a high-temperature structure.![]()
