Abstract
Since the last century, we have witnessed the development of molecular magnetism which deals with magnetic materials based on molecular species, i.e., organic radicals and metal complexes. Among them, the broadest attention was devoted to molecule-based ferro-/ferrimagnets, spin transition materials, including those exploring electron transfer, molecular nanomagnets, such as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), molecular qubits, and stimuli-responsive magnetic materials. Their physical properties open the application horizons in sensors, data storage, spintronics, and quantum computation. It was found that various optical phenomena, such as thermochromism, photoswitching of magnetic and optical characteristics, luminescence, nonlinear optical and chiroptical effects, as well as optical responsivity to external stimuli, can be implemented into molecule-based magnetic materials. Moreover, the fruitful interactions of these optical effects with magnetism in molecule-based materials can provide new physical cross-effects and multifunctionality, enriching the applications in optical, electronic, and magnetic devices. This Review aims to show the scope of optical phenomena generated in molecule-based magnetic materials, including the recent advances in such areas as high-temperature photomagnetism, optical thermometry utilizing SMMs, optical addressability of molecular qubits, magneto-chiral dichroism, and opto-magneto-electric multifunctionality. These findings are discussed in the context of the types of optical phenomena accessible for various classes of molecule-based magnetic materials.

Abstract
A novel FeIII complex [Fe(Hex-tnal)2]BPh4 (1) with a tridentate N2O ligand having an n-hexyl chain, Hex-Htnal (=1-((((1-hexyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)imino)methyl)naphthalen-2-ol), is reported. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that 1 exhibits a two-step spin crossover (SCO) transition in the 400-10 K temperature range, including an unusual gradual χMT change above RT (300-345 K) and a hysteretic χMT jump in a narrow temperature range of 345-357 K. These behaviors were also characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. Variable-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the order-disorder transition and conformational change of the hexyl chains and the symmetry change associated with the re-entrant structural phase transition, namely triclinic P1̄ (100-275 K) ↔ monoclinic C2/c (296-340 K) ↔ triclinic P1̄ (360 K), are coupled to variations in intermolecular interactions and the N4O2 coordination environment, resulting in the occurrence of the unusual two-step SCO transition of 1. This study demonstrates that the flexible motion of alkyl substituents in the supramolecular lattice influences the occurrence of anomalous magnetic switching properties.

Abstract
Magnetic exchange coupling (J) between different spin centers plays a crucial role in molecule-based magnetic materials. Direct exchange coupling between an organic radical and a metal is frequently stronger than superexchange through diamagnetic ligands, and the strategy of using organic radicals to engender desirable magnetic properties has been an area of active investigation. Despite significant advances and exciting bulk properties, the magnitude of J for radical linkers bridging paramagnetic centers is still difficult to rationally predict. It is thus important to elucidate the features of organic radicals that govern this parameter. Here, we measure J for the tetrathiafulvalene-tetrathiolate radical (TTFtt3-•) in a dinuclear Mn(II) complex. Magnetometry studies show that the antiferromagnetic coupling in this complex is much weaker than that in related Mn(II)-radical compounds, in contrast to what might be expected for the S-based chelating donor atoms of TTFtt. Experimental and computational analyses suggest that this small J coupling may be attributed to poor overlap between Mn- and TTFtt-based magnetic orbitals coupled with insignificant spin density on the coordinating S-atoms. These factors override any expected increase in J from the comparatively strong S-donors. This work elucidates the magnetic coupling properties of the TTFtt3-• radical for the first time and also demonstrates how multiple competing factors must be considered in rationally designing organic radical ligands for molecular-based magnetic compounds.

Abstract
The manipulation of spin-state switching (SSS) under ambient conditions is of significant importance for the construction of molecular switches. Herein, we demonstrate that reversible SSS can be mediated by the aggregation state of a near-infrared (NIR)-sensitive ferrous complex. The ferrous complex was J-aggregated in a DMF suspension and with a low-spin (LS) state; however, with the addition of water, it changed to H-aggregation and reached a high-spin (HS) state, owing to the enhanced intramolecular charge transfer and metal-to-ligand charge transfer. Interestingly, the following NIR irradiation can restore the J-aggregation and LS states owing to the enhanced ligand-to-ligand charge transfer. More interestingly, the ferrous complex can be further incorporated into a hygroscopic sponge that was capable of capturing humidity effectively for all weather conditions, which displayed reversible SSS via alternating atmospheric humidity capture and NIR irradiation under ambient conditions in the sponge state. This study thus opens up a new avenue for the development of novel smart molecular switches at the device level.

Abstract
The impact of solvent on spin crossover (SCO) behaviour is reported in two solvates [Fe(qsal-I)2]NO3·2ROH (qsal-I = 4-iodo-2-[(8-quinolylimino)methyl]phenolate; R = Me 1 or Et 2) which undergo abrupt and gradual SCO, respectively. A symmetry-breaking phase transition due to spin-state ordering from a [HS] to [HS-LS] state occurs at 210 K in 1, while T1/2 = 250 K for the EtOH solvate, where complete SCO occurs. The MeOH solvate exhibits LIESST and reverse-LIESST from the [HS-LS] state, revealing a hidden [LS] state. Moreover, photocrystallographic studies on 1 at 10 K reveal re-entrant photoinduced phase transitions to a high symmetry [HS] phase when irradiated at 980 nm or a high symmetry [LS] phase after irradiation at 660 nm. This study represents the first example of bidirectional photoswitchability and subsequent symmetry-breaking from a [HS-LS] state in an iron(iii) SCO material.

Abstract
Recently, a family of [Fe2Co2] molecular capsules that display tunable electron transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) behavior were reported via a smart approach through Schiff-base condensation of aldehyde-functionalized 2,2-bipyridines (bpyCHO) and 1,7-heptanediamine (H2N(CH2)7NH2). Here, three more capsule complexes {[(TpR)Fe(CN)3]2[Co(bpyCN(CH2)nNCbpy)]2[ClO4]2}·n(solvent) (1, TpR = Tp*, n = 5, sol = 8DMF; 2, TpR = TpMe, n = 9, sol = 5MeCN; and 3, TpR = Tp*, n = 11, sol = 5MeCN), where Tp* = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate and TpMe = hydridotris(3-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate are reported, demonstrating a successful extension of such an approach with other alkyldiamines of different lengths. Combined X-ray crystallographic, infrared spectroscopic and magnetic studies reveal incomplete electron transfer with either changing temperature or upon light exposure.

Abstract
It has been recognized that both the ligand fields and intermolecular interactions may greatly impact the electron-transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) events in switchable magnetic materials; however, the engineering of these factors within a given system is still challenging. In this article, we chose the 4,4'-substituent 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives as chelating ligands according to their increasing electron-donating strength and incremental potential for forming hydrogen bonds (bpyCHO,CH3(L1) < bpyCH2OH,CH3 (L2) < bpyCH2OH,CH2OH (L3)), and prepared three new [Fe2Co2] complexes, {[(Tp*)Fe(CN)3Co(L)2]2[ClO4]2}·Sol (1, L = L1, Sol = 4MeCN·2H2O; 2, L = L2, Sol = 3MeCN; 3, L = L3, Sol = 4MeOH; Tp* = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate). X-ray crystallography studies revealed that all the complexes share similar cyanide-bridged [Fe2Co2] square compositions except for the different substituted groups of L ligands, which led to the clearly evidenced intercluster hydrogen bonds between the neighbouring hydroxyl groups in 2 and 3. As a result, 1 remained in the paramagnetic [FeIII,LS2CoII,HS2] state over the whole temperature range, while 2 and 3 showed complete ETCST behaviour with the transition temperatures (T1/2) being 221 and 294 K, respectively.

Abstract
Spin crossover (SCO) is one of the most studied magnetic bistable phenomena because of its application in the field of multifunctional magnetic materials. FeII complexes in a N6 coordination environment have been the most well-studied in terms of their SCO behaviour. Other coordination environments, notably the N4O2 coordination environment, has also been quite effective in inducing SCO behaviour in the corresponding FeII complexes. This review deals with such systems. The three ligand families that are discussed are: Jager type ligands, hydrazone based ligands and tridentate ligands having salicylaldehyde derivatives. These ligands allow the assembly of both mononuclear and multinuclear complexes that exhibit cooperative spin transitions. Also, FeII complexes obtained from some of these ligands are multifunctional and exhibit a coupling of optical and magnetic properties. Most of the FeII complexes obtained from these families of ligands are charge neutral which allows easy surface deposition. Further, modulation of these ligand families allows a fine tuning of the ligand field strength which results in varying SCO behavior. In addition some of the FeII complexes derived from these ligands exhibit a light induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect. All of the above aspects are reviewed in this review.

Abstract
![]()
Little is known about the mechanisms behind the bistability
(memory)
of molecular spin transition compounds over broad temperature ranges
(>100 K). To address this point, we report on a new discrete FeII neutral complex [FeIIL2]0 (1) based on a novel asymmetric tridentate ligand 2-(5-(3-methoxy-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl))pyridine
(L). Due to the asymmetric cone-shaped form, in the lattice, the formed
complex molecules stack into a one-dimensional (1D) supramolecular
chain. In the case of the rectangular supramolecular arrangement of
chains in methanolates 1-A and 1-B (both
orthorhombic, Pbcn) differing, respectively, by bent
and extended spatial conformations of the 3-methoxy groups (3MeO),
a moderate cooperativity is observed. In contrast, the hexagonal-like
arrangement of supramolecular chains in polymorph 1-C (monoclinic, P21/c) results in steric coupling of the transforming complex
species with the peripheral flipping 3MeO group. The group acts as
a supramolecular latch, locking the huge geometric distortion of complex 1 and in turn the trigonal distortion of the central FeII ion in the high-spin state, thereby keeping it from the
transition to the low-spin state over a large thermal range. Analysis
of the crystal packing of 1-C reveals significantly changing
patterns of close intermolecular interactions on going between the
phases substantiated by the energy framework analysis. The detected
supramolecular mechanism leads to a record-setting robust 105 K wide
hysteresis spanning the room temperature region and an atypically
large TLIESST relaxation value of 104
K of the photoexcited high-spin state. This work highlights a viable
pathway toward a new generation of cleverly designed molecular memory
materials.

Abstract
The presence of a high density of excited electronic states in the immediate vicinity of the optically bright state of a molecule paves the way for numerous photo-relaxation channels. In transition-metal complexes, the presence of heavy atoms results in a stronger spin–orbit coupling, which enables spin forbidden spin-crossover processes to compete with the spin-allowed internal conversion processes. However, no matter how effectively the states cross around the Franck–Condon region, the degree of vibronic coupling, of both relativistic and non-relativistic nature, drives the population distribution among these states. One such case is demonstrated in this work for the intermediate-spin Fe(III) trigonal-bipyramidal complex. A quantum dynamical investigation of the photo-deactivation mechanism in the Fe(III) system is presented using the multi-configurational time-dependent Hartree approach based on the vibronic Hamiltonian whose coupling terms are derived from the state-averaged complete active space self-consistent field/complete active space with second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) calculations and spin–orbit coupling of the scalar-relativistic CASPT2 states. The results of this study show that the presence of a strong (non-relativistic) vibronic coupling between the optically bright intermediate-spin state and other low-lying states of the same spin-multiplicity overpowers the spin–orbit coupling between the intermediate-spin and high-spin states, thereby lowering the chances of spin-crossover while exhibiting ultrafast relaxation among the intermediate-spin states. In a special case, where the population transfer pathway via the non-relativistic vibronic coupling is blocked, the probability of the spin-crossover is found to increase. This suggests that a careful modification of the complex by incorporation of heavier atoms with stronger relativistic effects can enhance the spin-crossover potential of Fe(III) intermediate-spin complexes.

Abstract
Vapor-triggered crystal-to-crystal transformation between a discrete trinuclear complex [Ni3(sih)2(py)8] and a two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer [Ni3(sih)2(py)2]n·2DMF·2H2O was demonstrated. It provides an example of a solid-state coordination-induced spin state switch behavior attributed to the structural phase transition triggered by solvent signal. The reversible nature can be detected by both optical (spectral) and magnetic responses in cycles.

Abstract
Fe(III) complexes are receiving ever-increasing attention as spin crossover (SCO) systems because they are usually air stable, as opposed to Fe(II) complexes, which are prone to oxidation. Here, we present the first systematic study exclusively devoted to assess the accuracy of several exchange-correlation functionals when it comes to predicting the energy gap between the high-spin (S = 5/2) and the low-spin (S = 1/2) states of Fe(III) complexes. Using a dataset of 24 different Fe(III) hexacoordinated complexes, it is demonstrated that the B3LYP* functional is an excellent choice not only for predicting spin-state energy gaps for Fe(III) complexes undergoing spin-transitions but also for discriminating Fe(III) complexes that are either low- or high-spin in the whole range of temperatures. Our benchmark study has led to the identification of a very versatile Fe(III) compound whose SCO properties can be engineered upon changing a single axial ligand. Overall, this work demonstrates that B3LYP* is a reliable functional for screening new spin-crossover systems with tailored properties.

Abstract
Halogen-substituted Fe(III) compounds, [Fe(HphsalpmX)2]PTFB (HphsalpmX = 5-X-(R,S)-((phenyl(2-pyridyl)methylimino)methyl)phenol, PTFB = phenyltrifluoroborate; X = F for 1, Cl for 2, Br for 3) and [Fe(HphsalpmX)2]PTFB·MeOH (X = I for 4·MeOH), were synthesized. Compounds 1, 4·MeOH, and its desolvated form 4 exhibited an invariant high-spin state in the whole temperature range, while 2 and 3 underwent gradual, nonhysteretic, and incomplete spin crossover (SCO) with transition temperatures (TC) of 153 and 220 K, respectively. Interestingly, the SCO-active compounds 2 and 3 showed light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) effects at 10 K, and light-induced reversible ON/OFF switching behaviors were realized by alternately using 880 and 1064 nm light, while the thermally inert compound 4·MeOH unexpectedly showed a reverse-LIESST effect. These results may help to design and synthesize new photoresponsive SCO Fe(III) compounds for the development of switchable materials.
