Abstract
During last decades, significant advances have been made in iron-based spin crossover (SCO) complexes, with a particular emphasis on achieving reversible and reproducible thermal hysteresis at room temperature (RT). This pursuit represents a pivotal goal within the field of molecular magnetism, aiming to create molecular devices capable of operating in ambient conditions. Here, we summarize the recent progress of iron complexes with spin transition near RT based on nitrogen ligands containing aromatic rings from molecular design to functional devices. Specifically, we discuss the various factors, including supramolecular interactions, crystal packing, guest molecules and pressure effects, that could influence its cooperativity and the spin transition temperature. Furthermore, the most recent advances in their implementation as mechanical actuators, switching/memories, sensors, and other devices, have been introduced as well. Finally, we give a perspective on current challenges and future directions in SCO community.

Abstract
To achieve fine regulation of FeII SCO behavior, a series of trinuclear cyanido-bridged complexes trans-[CpMen(dppe)MII(CN)]2[Fe1II(abpt)2](OTf)2 (1-4) (1, M = Fe2 and n = 1; 2, M = Fe2 and n = 4; 3, M = Fe2 and n = 5; 4, M = Ru and n = 5; CpMen = alkyl cyclopentadienyl with n = 1, 4, 5; dppe = 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane; abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole and OTf = CF3SO3-) were synthesized and fully characterized by using elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, magnetic measurements, variable-temperature IR spectroscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is worth mentioning that different from many mononuclear Fe(abpt)2X2 (X = NCS, NCSe, N(CN)2, C(CN)3, (NC)2CC(OCH3)C(CN)2, (NC)2CC(OC2H5)C(CN)2, C16SO3 and Cl) complexes with more than one polymorph, only one polycrystalline form was found in complexes 1-4. Moreover, the thermally induced SCO behaviors of these four complexes are independent of intermolecular π-π interactions. The electron-donating ability of the CCN-terminal fragment of CpMen(dppe)MIICN can be flexibly regulated by changing the methyl number (n) of the cyclopentadiene ligand or metal ion type (MII). These investigations indicate that the electron-donating ability of the CCN-terminal fragment has an influence on the SCO behavior of Fe1II. The spin transition temperature (T1/2) of the complexes decreases with the increase of the electron-donating ability of the fragment CpMen(dppe)MII. This study provides a new strategy to predict and precisely regulate the behaviors of SCO complexes.

Abstract
Despite the increasing number of spin-crossover FeII-based cages, the interplay between ligand modifications (e.g. coordination motif substituents and linker) is not well-understood in these multinuclear systems, limiting rational design. Here, we report a family of FeII4L6 spin-crossover cages based on 2,2'-pyridylbenzimidazoles where subtle ligand modifications lowered the spin crossover temperature in CD3CN by up to 186 K. Comparing pairs of cages, CH3 substituents on either the coordination motif or phenylene linker lowered the spin-crossover temperature by 48 K, 91 K or 186 K, attributed to electronic effects, steric effects and a combination of both, respectively. The understanding of the interplay between ligand modifications gained from this study could be harnessed on the path towards the improved rational design of spin-crossover cages.

Abstract
Spin crossover complexes are a route toward designing molecular devices with a facile readout due to the change in conductance that accompanies the change in spin state. Because substrate effects are important for any molecular device, there are increased efforts to characterize the influence of the substrate on the spin state transition. Several classes of spin crossover molecules deposited on different types of surface, including metallic and non-metallic substrates, are comprehensively reviewed here. While some non-metallic substrates like graphite seem to be promising from experimental measurements, theoretical and experimental studies indicate that 2D semiconductor surfaces will have minimum interaction with spin crossover molecules. Most metallic substrates, such as Au and Cu, tend to suppress changes in spin state and affect the spin state switching process due to the interaction at the molecule-substrate interface that lock spin crossover molecules in a particular spin state or mixed spin state. Of course, the influence of the substrate on a spin crossover thin film depends on the molecular film thickness and perhaps the method used to deposit the molecular film.

Abstract
Four bis[2-{pyrazol-1-yl}-6-{pyrazol-3-yl}pyridine] ligands have been synthesized, with butane-1,4-diyl (L1 ), pyrid-2,6-diyl (L2 ), benzene-1,2-dimethylenyl (L3 ) and propane-1,3-diyl (L4 ) linkers between the tridentate metal-binding domains. L1 and L2 form [Fe2 (μ-L)2 ]X4 (X- =BF4 - or ClO4 - ) helicate complexes when treated with the appropriate iron(II) precursor. Solvate crystals of [Fe2 (μ-L1 )2 ][BF4 ]4 exhibit three different helicate conformations, which differ in the torsions of their butanediyl linker groups. The solvates exhibit gradual thermal spin-crossover, with examples of stepwise switching and partial spin-crossover to a low-temperature mixed-spin form. Salts of [Fe2 (μ-L2 )2 ]4+ are high-spin, which reflects their highly twisted iron coordination geometry. The composition and dynamics of assembly structures formed by iron(II) with L1 -L3 vary with the ligand linker group, by mass spectrometry and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. Gas-phase DFT calculations imply the butanediyl linker conformation in [Fe2 (μ-L1 )2 ]4+ influences its spin state properties, but show anomalies attributed to intramolecular electrostatic repulsion between the iron atoms.

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
Here, we report a combined study of the effects of two chemical modifications to an N,N'-disubstituted bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (3-bpp) and of different solvents on the spin-crossover (SCO) behavior in otherwise high-spin iron(II) complexes by solution NMR spectroscopy. The observed stabilization of the low-spin state by electron-withdrawing substituents in the two positions of the ligand that induce opposite electronic effects in SCO-active iron(II) complexes of isomeric bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridines (1-bpp) was previously hidden by NH functionalities in 3-bpp precluding the molecular design of SCO compounds with this family of ligands. With the recent SCO-assisting substituent design, the uncovered trends converged toward the first iron(II) complex of N,N'-disubstituted 3-bpp to undergo an almost complete SCO centered at room temperature in a less polar solvent of a high hydrogen-bond acceptor ability.

Abstract
A family of five new bis-bidentate azole-triazole Rat ligands (1,3-bis(5-(azole)-4-isobutyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzene), varying in choice of azole (2-imidazole, 4-imidazole, 1-methyl-4-imidazole, 4-oxazole and 4-thiazole), and the corresponding family of spin-crossover (SCO) and redox active triply bridged dinuclear helicates, [FeII 2L3]4+, has been prepared and characterised. X-ray crystal structures show all five Fe(ii) helicates are low spin at 100 K. Importantly, DOSY NMR confirms the intactness of these SCO-active dinuclear helicates in D3-MeCN solution, regardless of HS fraction: γ HS(298 K) = 0-0.81. Variable temperature 1H NMR Evans and UV-vis studies reveal that the helicates are SCO-active in MeCN solution. Indeed, the choice of azole in the Rat ligand used in [Fe2L3]4+ tunes: (a) solution SCO T 1/2 from 247 to 471 K, and (b) reversible redox potential, E m(FeII/III), from 0.25 to 0.67 V for four helicates, whilst one has an irreversible redox process, E pa = 0.78 V, vs. 0.01 M AgNO3/Ag. For the four reversible redox systems, a strong correlation (R 2 = 0.99) is observed between T 1/2 and E pa. Finally, the analogous Ni(ii) helicates have been prepared to obtain Δ o, establishing: (a) the ligand field strength order of the ligands: 4-imidazole (11 420) ∼ 1-methyl-4-imidazole (11 430) < 2-imidazole (11 505) ∼ 4-oxazole (11 516) < 4-thiazole (11 804 cm-1), (b) that Δ o ([NiII 2L3]4+) strongly correlates (R 2 = 0.87) with T 1/2 ([FeII 2L3]4+), and (c) interestingly that Δ o strongly correlates (R 2 = 0.98) with E pa for the four helicates with reversible redox, so the stronger the ligand field strength, the harder it is to oxidise the Fe(ii) to Fe(iii).

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 spin crossover (SCO) phenomenon represents a source of multistability at the molecular level, and dilution into a nonactive host was originally key to understand its cooperative nature and the parameters governing it in the solid state. Here, we devise a molecular alloying approach in which all components are SCO-active, but with significantly different characteristic temperatures. Thus, the molecular material [Fe(Mebpp)2](ClO4)2 (2) has been doped with increasing amounts of the ligand Me2bpp (Mebpp and Me2bpp = methyl- and bis-methyl-substituted bis-pyrazolylpyridine ligands), yielding molecular alloys with the formula [Fe(Mebpp)2-2x(Me2bpp)2x](ClO4)2 (4x; 0.05 < x < 0.5). The effect of the composition on the SCO process is studied through single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), magnetometry, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). While the attenuation of intermolecular interactions is shown to have a strong effect on the SCO cooperativity, the spin conversion was found to occur at intermediate temperatures and in one sole step for all components of the alloys, thus unveiling an unprecedented allosteric SCO process. This effect provides in turn a means of tuning the SCO temperature within a range of 42 K.

Abstract
Bi-stable charge-neutral iron(ii) spin-crossover (SCO) complexes are a class of switchable molecular materials proposed for molecule-based switching and memory applications. In this study, we report on the SCO behavior of a series of iron(ii) complexes composed of rationally designed 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine (ptp) ligands. The powder forms of [Fe2+(R-ptp-)2]0 complexes tethered with less-bulky substituents-R = H (1), R = CH2OH (2), and R = COOCH3 (3; previously reported)-at the 4-position of the pyridine ring of the ptp skeleton showed abrupt and hysteretic SCO at or above room temperature (RT), whereas complex 5 featuring a bulky pyrene substituent showed incomplete and gradual SCO behavior. The role of intermolecular interactions, lattice solvent, and electronic nature of the chemical substituents (R) in tuning the SCO of the complexes is elucidated.

Abstract
Structure-function relationships relating the spin-crossover (SCO) midpoint temperature (T1/2) in the solid state are surveyed for 43 members of the iron(II) dipyrazolylpyridine family of SCO compounds. The difference between T1/2 in the solid state and in solution [ΔT(latt)] is proposed as a measure of the lattice contribution to the transition temperature. Negative linear correlations between the SCO temperature and the magnitude of the rearrangement of the coordination sphere during SCO are evident among isostructural or near-isostructural subsets of compounds; that is, a larger change in the molecular structure during SCO stabilizes the high-spin state of a material. Improved correlations are often obtained when ΔT(latt), rather than the raw T1/2 value, is considered as the measure of the SCO temperature. Different lattice types show different tendencies to stabilize the high-spin or low-spin state of the molecules they contain, which correlates with the structural changes that most influence ΔT(latt) in each case. These relationships are mostly unaffected by the SCO cooperativity in the compounds or by the involvement of any crystallographic phase changes. One or two materials within each subset are outliers in some or all of these correlations, however, which, in some cases, can be attributed to small differences in their ligand geometry or unusual phase behavior during SCO. A reinvestigation of the structural chemistry of [Fe(3-bpp)2][NCS]2·nH2O [3-bpp = bis(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine; n = 0 or 2], undertaken as part of this study, is also presented.

Abstract
Synthetic peroxo-bridged high-spin (HS) heme-(μ-η2:η1-O22-)-Cu(L) complexes incorporating (as part of the copper ligand) intramolecular hydrogen-bond (H-bond) capabilities and/or steric effects are herein demonstrated to affect the complex's electronic and geometric structure, notably impacting the spin state. An H-bonding interaction with the peroxo core favors a low-spin (LS) heme-(μ-η1:η1-O22-)-Cu(L) structure, resulting in a reversible temperature-dependent interconversion of spin state (5 coordinate HS to 6 coordinate LS). The LS state dominates at low temperatures, even in the absence of a strong trans-axial heme ligand. Lewis base addition inhibits the H-bond facilitated spin interconversion by competition for the H-bond donor, illustrating the precise H-bonding interaction required to induce spin-crossover (SCO). Resonance Raman spectroscopy (rR) shows that the H-bonding pendant interacts with the bridging peroxide ligand to stabilize the LS but not the HS state. The H-bond (to the Cu-bound O atom) acts to weaken the O-O bond and strengthen the Fe-O bond, exhibiting ν(M-O) and ν(O-O) values comparable to analogous known LS complexes with a strong donating trans-axial ligand, 1,5-dicyclohexylimidazole, (DCHIm)heme-(μ-η1:η1-O22-)-Cu(L). Variable-temperature (-90 to -130 °C) UV-vis and 2H NMR spectroscopies confirm the SCO process and implicate the involvement of solvent binding. Examining a case of solvent binding without SCO, thermodynamic parameters were obtained from a van't Hoff analysis, accounting for its contribution in SCO. Taken together, these data provide evidence for the H-bond group facilitating a core geometry change and allowing solvent to bind, stabilizing a LS state. The rR data, complemented by DFT analysis, reveal a stronger H-bonding interaction with the peroxo core in the LS compared to the HS complexes, which enthalpically favors the LS state. These insights enhance our fundamental understanding of secondary coordination sphere influences in metalloenzymes.

Abstract
Six analogue compounds with the general formula [Fe2( xL)5(NCS)4]· yMeOH ( x = o-Cl, y = 3 for compound 1; x = m-Cl, y = 5 for 2; x = p-Cl, y = 1 for 3; x = o-Me, y = 2 for 4; x = m-Me, y = 2 for 5; x = p-Me, y = 3 for 6; L = N-phenylmethylene-4-amino-1,2,4-triazole) were synthesized. The two Fe(II) ions are triply bridged by the triazole groups of three xL ligands and each Fe(II) is further capped with two NCS- groups and one more xL ligand. These compounds show regular patterns in their magnetic properties that depend on the positions the substituent groups (-Cl or -Me) ride, i.e., ortho-substituted compounds 1 and 4 undergo complete one-step spin crossover (SCO), while meta-substituted compounds 2 and 5 display incomplete one-step SCO with lower transition temperatures, and para-substituted compounds 3 and 6 are in the high-spin states in all temperature ranges. Structural analyses reveal that the molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions of these compounds, which should account for the differences in magnetic properties, are obviously depend on the positions of substituent groups (steric effect), despite them being electron-withdrawing chlorine or electron-donating methyl, whereas theoretical calculations confirm that the electronic effects of substituent groups exert no effect on the magnetic properties.

Abstract
In an effort to replace the widely used ruthenium metal complexes with low-cost, earth abundant iron complexes as photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications, herein we report the computational design of heteroleptic iron complexes (FC1-3) coordinated with benzimidazole-phenylcarbene (C^N) ligands. DFT and TDDFT calculations predicted the stronger σ-donating and π-accepting nature of phenyl carbene ligands substituted with electron-withdrawing CF3, donating -N(CH3)2, and benzothiazine annulation than the imidazole carbene ligands (FC4); consequently, the metal-ligand bond distances and interactions that influence the ordering of charge transfer states with respect to metal centered states are altered in FC1-3 complexes. Detailed analysis based on energy decomposition analysis, spin density distribution analysis, and ab initio ligand field theory parameters were enabled to understand the nature of heteroleptic ligand interactions with the rest of the metal complex. The results from the study shed light on the judicious choice of ligands, as the same non-innocent ligand that is experimentally proven as favorable for Ru-dyes (TC1) is found to be detrimental for Fe-dyes (FC1). Among the complexes studied, the FC3 complex is a promising sensitizer for DSSC with 1,3MLCT energy level well separated from 3,5MC, thereby preventing the deactivation of MLCT. The outcome of the study is therefore an important step toward the development of photosensitizers based on iron metal. Graphical abstract Potential photosensitzers based on earth-abundant, low cost iron metal have been designed for dye sensitized solar cell applications.
