Lightening the load Permanent magnets are generally produced from solid metals or alloys. Less dense compositions involving lighter elements tend to demagnetize well below room temperature under modest applied external fields. Perlepe et al. now report that chemical reduction of a low-density chromium-pyrazine network produces magnet remains stable above 200°C and resists demagnetization with 7500-oersted coercivity at temperature. The straightforward synthetic route material shows promise...
In the loop: A reversible spin transition was observed by Raman spectroscopy on application of a single laser pulse (8 ns) in hysteresis loop spin-crossover complex [Fe(pyrazine){Pt(CN)4}]. This bi-directional, photoinduced switching occurs at room temperature over wide region bistability and involves magnetization as well color changes (see picture).
Single crystals of the {FeII(pyrazine)[Pt(CN)4]} spin crossover complex were synthesized by a slow diffusion method. The exhibit thermal transition around room temperature (298 K), which is accompanied 14 K wide hysteresis loop. X-ray single-crystal analysis confirms that this compound crystallizes in tetragonal P4/mmm space group both states. Within region complete bidirectional photoconversion was induced between two phases (high ⇄ low spin) when short single laser pulse (4 ns, 532 nm)...

TER spectra reveal vibrational modes typical nucleobases...

Abstract For the first time, natural Aβ 1–42 fibrils (WT) implicated in Alzheimer's disease, as well two synthetic mutants forming less toxic amyloid (L34T) and highly oligomers (oG37C), are chemically characterized at scale of a single structure using tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS).

The attractive electronic properties of metal-pyrazine materials─electrical conductivity, magnetic order, and strong coupling─can be tuned in a wide range depending on the metal employed, as well its ligand-imposed redox environment. Using solvent-directed synthesis to control dimensionality such systems, discrete tetranuclear chromium(III) complex, exhibiting rare example bridging radical pyrazine, has been prepared from chromium(II) triflate neutral pyrazine. antiferromagnetic interaction...
The low-spin (LS-LS, S = 0) diamagnetic form of the binuclear spin crossover complex {[Fe(bt)(NCS)(2)](2)(bpm)} was selectively photoconverted into two distinct macroscopic phases at different excitation wavelengths (1342 or 647.1 nm). These long-lived metastable have been identified, respectively, as symmetry-broken paramagnetic (HS-LS, 2) and antiferromagnetically coupled (HS-HS, high-spin compound. selectivity may be explained by strong coupling primary excited states to state.
