Abstract The Fe(II) spin crossover complex [Fe{H 2 B(pz) } (bipy)] (pz = pyrazol‐1‐yl, bipy 2,2′‐bipyridine) can be locked in a largely low‐spin‐state configuration over temperature range that includes temperatures well above the thermal of 160 K. This locking state is achieved for nanometer thin films this two distinct ways: through substrate interactions with dielectric substrates such as SiO and Al O 3 , or powder samples by mixing strongly dipolar zwitterionic p ‐benzoquinonemonoimine C...

The iron(II) spin-crossover complex ([Fe(NH2trz)3](NO3)2) catalyzes the formation of imine from 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole. proposed catalytic mechanism involves two sequential post-synthetic modification (PSM) reactions. In first PSM, an is formed through interaction amine with aldehyde. second reacts aminotriazole, resulting in release into solution and regeneration complex.

UV irradiation in the presence of thiol enables performance highly efficient aliphatic amines racemization, under mild conditions at 30 °C. The reaction proceeds via reversible generation prochiral α-aminoalkyl radicals. latter may result either from a redox process between thiyl radical and amine or direct hydrogen atom abstraction by radical. As donor, plays crucial role. While racemization both primary secondary were fast processes, tertiary was sluggish. A tentative rationale is based on...
