<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />Dicyanoaurate reacts with the organic acceptor molecule, 1,1&prime;-bis-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-4,4&prime;-bipyridinium, <strong>DNP</strong>, to form a supramolecular complex with the general formula {[Au(CN)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub><strong>DNP</strong>}&middot;4H<sub>2</sub>O. The complex was characterized by X-ray crystallography, and its photophysical properties were investigated in the solid-state. Although the initial (<strong>DNP</strong>)Cl<sub>2</sub> compound does not show photoluminescence behavior and the dicyanoaurate shows photoluminescence only in the UV range, the resulting supramolecular complex displays two simultaneous, essentially independent, photoluminescence bands in the visible range originating from individual contributions of the <strong>DNP</strong> unit and the dicyanoaurate dimers. This unusual simultaneous photoluminescence behavior displayed by both the dicyanoaurate donor units and the redox-active 4,4&prime;-bipyridinium acceptor have lifetimes of 0.5 &mu;s and several hundred &mu;s, respectively.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />The photophysical properties of the free neutral radical galvinoxyl were studied by a combination of femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. The electronic absorption spectrum is dominated by an intense band at 430 nm that is ascribed to the D9,10&larr;D0 transitions. Upon photoexcitation at 400 nm, the population of the D9,10 states decays within less than 200 fs to the electronic ground state. This ultrafast internal conversion does not involve intramolecular modes with large amplitude motion as the measured dynamics does not show any significant dependence on the environment, but is most probably facilitated by a high density of electronic states of different character. Depending on the solvent, a weak transient band due to the galvinoxylate anion is also observed. This closed-shell species, which is fluorescent although its deactivation is also dominated by non-radiative decay, is generated upon biphotonic ionization of the solvent and electron capture. The ultrashort excited-state lifetime of the galvinoxyl radical precludes photoinduced disproportionation previously claimed to be at the origin of the formation of both anion and cation.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />We model here the behavior of spin transition compounds, considering molecules arranged in a 2D hexagonal lattice and interacting via springs. The role of impurities in the clustering and nucleation phenomena is analyzed, as well as the manner in which the impurities affect the relaxation curves. The switching of the individual molecules is checked using a Monte Carlo procedure. When a molecule changes its state, it also modifies its volume, and the new equilibrium positions of all the molecules are calculated. As in previously reported experiments, it is found here that bigger impurities slow down the relaxation from the metastable high-spin state to the low-spin state, while smaller impurities act in an opposite way. It is shown that if the concentration of the impurities is higher than a certain threshold, then they act as a barrier, trammeling the fast evolution of domains developing from the edges.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />The recently developedmechanoelastic model is applied to characterize the thermal transition in spin-crossover complexes, with special attention given to the case of spin-crossover nanoparticles. In a two-dimensional system, hexagonal-shaped samples with open boundary conditions are composed of individual molecules that are linked by springs and can switch between two states, namely, the high-spin (HS) and the low-spin (LS) states. The switching of an individual molecule during the spin transition is decided by way of a Monte Carlo standard procedure, using transition probabilities depending on the temperature, the energy gap between the two states, the enthalpy difference, the degeneracy ratio, and the local pressure determined by the elongation or compression of its closest springs. The influence of external parameters, such as temperature sweeping rate and pressure, or intrinsic features of the system, such as the value of its spring constant, on the width of the thermal hysteresis, its shape, and its position are discussed. The particular case of spin-crossover nanoparticles is treated by considering them embedded into a polymer environment, which essentially affects the molecules situated at the edges and faces by decreasing their transition probabilities from HS to LS. Finally, the pressure hysteresis, obtained by varying the external pressure at constant temperature is discussed.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />The structure and thermodynamic properties of lanthanide complexes with a new tripodal ligand&nbsp;<strong>L2</strong>&nbsp;have been elucidated using different physicochemical methods. At stoichiometric ratios, the tetrahedral three-dimensional complexes with lanthanide cations are formed in acetonitrile with good stabilities. Despite minor structural changes comparing to previously investigated tripodal ligands, the resulting assembly exhibits different features revealed with the crystal structure of [Eu<sub>4</sub><strong>L2</strong><sub>4</sub>](OH)(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>11</sub>&nbsp;(orthorhombic,&nbsp;<em>Pbcn</em>). Interestingly, the highly charged edifice contains an inner cage encapsulating a perchlorate anion. Such lanthanide mediated cage-like assemblies are rare, and may be of interest for different sensing applications. Indeed, the anionic guest can be exchanged with different anions. The related host&ndash;guest equilibria were investigated with NMR techniques. Various aspects of these reactions are qualitatively discussed.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />In this article, the synthesis of a novel high-conjugated ligand and its corresponding Ru(<small>II</small>) complex PTFTF:Ru is reported, along with the linear and nonlinear optical characterizations. Two-photon absorption based optical power limiting properties (OPL), especially in the near infrared, are described and compared to those of the analogous complexes previously published. Combined with a preliminary theoretical approach, this allows us to highlight several key parameters for OPL optimization in such molecular systems and more particularly the spectral overlap between TPA and excited-state absorption.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />Self-assembly processes between a tripodal ligand and Ln<sup>III</sup>&nbsp;cations have been investigated by means of supramolecular analytical methods. At an equimolar ratio of components, tetranuclear tetrahedral complexes are readily formed in acetonitrile. The structural analysis of the crystallographic data shows a helical wrapping of binding strands around metallic cations. The properties of this series of highly charged 3D compounds were examined by using NMR spectroscopy and optical methods in solution and in the solid state. In the presence of excess metal, a new trinuclear complex was identified. The X-ray crystal structure elucidated the coordination of metallic cations with two ligands of different conformations. By varying the metal/ligand ratio, a global speciation of this supramolecular system has been evidenced with different spectroscopic methods. In addition, these rather complicated equilibria were successfully characterised with the thermodynamic stability constants. A rational analysis of the self-assembly processes was attempted by using the thermodynamic free energy model and the impact of the ligand structure on the effective concentration is discussed.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />We investigated by optical microscopy the thermal spin transition in single crystals of [Fe(bbtr)<sub>3</sub>](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (bbtr = 1,4-di(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) butane). The growth of the low-spin phase was observed for different crystal orientations and sizes. The process always started from a corner of the crystal but its further development depended on the size, shape and thermal history of the crystal. In crystals of smaller size, under isothermal conditions, the low-spin phase developed in a continuous way, through the propagation of a rather well defined transformation front, with a higher propagation velocity inside the planes perpendicular to the c axis. In larger crystals the spontaneous occurrence of inhomogeneous stresses led to a stepwise propagation process.<br /></p><br />

In this molecular triad excitation into the metal&minus;ligand charge transfer bands results in the creation of a long-lived charge separated state with TTF acting as electron donor and anthraquinone as terminal acceptor.

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />The photoreactivity of two iron(II)&minus;styrylpyridine frameworks Fe(stpy)<sub>4</sub>(NCSe)<sub>2</sub> (stpy = 4-styrylpyridine) has been investigated for the very first time in a crystalline solid. A quantitative cis-to-trans isomerization of stilbenoids is shown to occur in the confined environment of the inorganic solid. The photochromic reaction was driven by a visible excitation into the metal-to-ligand charge transfer absorption of the high-spin all-cis complex. The solid-state transformation is accompanied by a unit-cell volume increase and an amorphization. Interestingly, the photoproduct formed by irradiating the high-spin all-cis reactant undergoes a spin conversion when the temperature is decreased. This observation is related to the &ldquo;ligand-driven light-induced spin change&rdquo; effect in a constrained environment.<br /></p><br />

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />In this paper we use a recently proposed elastic model in order to study the competition between linear photoexcitation and cooperative relaxation in spin-crossover molecular magnets. The difference in molecular size between the two possible spin states, that is, the high-spin and the low-spin states, respectively, induces distortions of the crystal lattice. These determine the elastic interactions between molecules, treated here as connecting springs that are either compressed or extended from their equilibrium length, thus modulating the local probability for the high-spin<em>&rarr;</em>low-spin relaxation. The crossover of individual molecules within the lattice is checked by a standard Monte Carlo procedure. Using very simple assumptions and a minimum number of parameters, photoexcitation curves and hysteresis loops under continuous irradiation below the thermal transition temperature can thus be simulated. The formation of clusters is analyzed and the presence of inhomogeneities in the system is investigated.<br /></p><br />

The energy transfer probability for both mechanisms is proportional to the spectral overlap of the <sup>2</sup>E&rarr;<sup>4</sup>A<sub>2 </sub>emission of the [Cr(ox)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>3- </sup>donor and the <sup>4</sup>A<sub>2</sub>&rarr;<sup>2</sup>T<sub>1</sub> absorption of the [Cr(bpy)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>3+</sup> acceptor.The spin-flip transitions of (pseudo-)octahedral Cr<sup>3+</sup> are known to shift to lower energy with increasing pressure. Because the shift rates of the two transitions in question differ, the spectral overlap between the donor emission and the acceptor absorption is a function of applied pressure. For [Rh<sub>1-x</sub>Cr<sub>x</sub>(bpy)<sub>3</sub>][Na-M<sub>1-y</sub>Cr<sub>y</sub>(ox)<sub>3</sub>]ClO<sub>4</sub> the spectral overlap is thus substantially reduced on increasing pressure from 0 to 2.5 GPa.

<p style="text-align:justify;"><b>Abstract</b>: <br />In this paper we study the cluster formation and evolution in spin crossover systems during the thermal transition in the frame of a mechano-elastic model applied to open boundary hexagonal lattices. The switching processes between the high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) state are studied by a method combining a Monte Carlo standard procedure on the spin state and the lattice relaxation. In the present study, we adopt the transition probabilities of the spin state taking into account the energy gap between the two states, the degeneracy ratio and the local pressure determined by the elongations of the closest springs. It is found that clusters of molecules in the same state tend to grow starting from corners, as in available experimental data. Some qualitative differences between the processes of cluster formation for the two hysteresis branches, i.e., HS to LS and LS to HS are pointed out. Moreover, we have studied the dependence of cluster formation on the strength of the elastic interactions, and also on the system size. The size dependence of the ratio between the system size and the maximum cluster length is very weak, which indicates the appearance of macroscopic domains.<br /></p><br />

In particular, the low-spin <span class="up2">&rarr;</span> high-spin change of states is shown to be accompanied (i) by a 0.191 &Aring; lengthening of the Fe&minus;N bond, in agreement with experiment, and (ii) by an increased thermal fluctuation of the molecular edifice, which both result from the weakening of the Fe&minus;N bond. Furthermore, our results suggest that about two water molecules are expelled from the first solvation shell of [Fe(bpy)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>2+</sup>, which consists of water molecules intercalated between the bpy ligands.<br /></p><br />
