Abstract:
Exact analysis of spin crossover in infinite elastic chain of two-spin exchange clusters was performed theoretically beyond mean-field approximation. Statistical mechanics of the system was exactly calculated by means of the transfer matrix technique. A possibility of spin-Peierls-like magneto-structural transition in a one-dimensional chain was shown as a result of interrelation of spin and elastic subsystems of the chain. The importance of the boundary conditions for spin crossover to occur was shown. The smoothness of spin crossover depends on the parameters of chain elasticity and the crossover position on the temperature scale is defined by the dependence of exchange integral on the cluster deformation. The proposed model qualitatively describes the main scenario of spin crossover effect in the chain polymer heterospin complex of copper(ii) hexafluoroacetylacetonate with methyl pyrazol-substituted nitronyl nitroxide containing two-spin exchange clusters.

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
