Abstract:
A highly distorted high spin Fe(ii)-complex, [Fe(1-BPP-COOC2H5)2](ClO4)2·CH3CN, with a trans-N(pyridine)-Fe-N(pyridine) angle (φ) of 158.83(17)° showed lattice solvent dependent bi-stable spin-state switching characteristics with T1/2 = ca. 233 K and a high thermal hysteresis width (ΔT) of 101 K, for the first cooling and heating cycle, unprecedented for the [Fe(BPP)2]2+ series of complexes; the results presented in this study are fundamentally important and have implications towards the realization of device architectures based on bi-stable SCO complexes.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
