Abstract:
A study of the spin-crossover (SCO) behavior of the tridimensional porous coordination polymer {Fe(bpac)[Pt(CN)4]} (bpac=bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene) on adsorption of different mono- and polyhalobenzene guest molecules is presented. The resolution of the crystal structure of {Fe(bpac)[Pt(CN)4]}⋅G (G=1,2,4-trichlorobenzene) shows preferential guest sites establishing π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions with the host framework. These host-guest interactions may explain the relationship between the modification of the SCO behavior and both the chemical nature of the guest molecule (electronic factors) and the number of adsorbed molecules (steric factors).

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...
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...
