Abstract 1 ). The weak magnetic response of1 results from both UIVspin and orbital contributions, as established by combining X‐ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy and bulk magnetization measurements. The spin and orbital moments are virtually identical in magnitude, but opposite in sign, resulting in an almost perfect cancellation, which is corroborated by ab initio calculations. This work constitutes the first experimental demonstration of a seemingly non‐magnetic molecular actinide complex carrying sizable spin and orbital magnetic moments. -

Abstract Co‐crystallization of the spin‐crossover (SCO) cationic complex, [Fe(1‐bpp)2]2+(1‐bpp=2,6‐bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl)pyridine) with fractionally charged organic anion TCNQδ−(0<δ<1) afforded hybrid materials [Fe(1‐bpp)2](TCNQ)3.5 ⋅ 3.5MeCN (
1 ) and [Fe(1‐bpp)2](TCNQ)4 ⋅ 4DCE (2 ), where TCNQ=7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane, MeCN=acetonitrile, and DCE=1,2‐dichloroethane. Both materials exhibit semiconducting behavior, with the room‐temperature conductivity values of 1.1×10−4 S/cm and 1.7×10−3 S/cm, respectively. The magnetic behavior of both complexes exhibits strong dependence on the content of the interstitial solvent. Complex1 undergoes a gradual temperature‐driven SCO, with the midpoint temperature ofT 1/2=234 K. The partial solvent loss by1 leads to the increase in theT 1/2value while complete desolvation renders the material high‐spin (HS) in the entire studied temperature range. In the case of2 , the solvated complex shows a gradual SCO withT 1/2=166 K only when covered with a mother liquid, while the facile loss of interstitial solvent, even at room temperature, leads to the HS‐only behavior. -

Abstract Three new polynuclear clusters with the formulae [Mn10O4(OH)(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}2{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}4(MeCO2)6](ClO4)2(
1 ), Na[Mn12O2(OH)3(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OH)(O)}2(MeCO2)2(H2O)10](ClO4)8(2 ) and [Mn12O4(OH)2{(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}(MeCO2)3(NO3)3(H2O)(DMF)2](NO3)2(3 ) were prepared from the combination of di‐2‐pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, with the aliphatic diols (1,3‐propanediol (pdH2) or 1,4‐butanediol (1,4‐bdH2)) in Mn carboxylate chemistry. The reported compounds do not include the aliphatic diols employed in this reaction scheme; however, their use is essential for the formation of1 –3 . The crystal structures of1 –3 are based on multilayer cores which, to our knowledge, are reported for the first time in Mn cluster chemistry. Direct current (dc ) magnetic susceptibility studies showed the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within1 –3 . Alternating current (ac ) magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of out‐of‐phase signals below 3.0 K for2 and3 indicating the slow relaxation of the magnetization vector, characteristic of single‐molecule magnets; theUeff value of2 was found to be 23 K and the preexponential factorτ0 ~7.6×10−9 s. -

Abstract Reaction of [CuH(PPh3)]6with 1 equiv. of Tl(OTf) results in formation of [Cu6TlH6(PPh3)6][OTf] (
[1]OTf] ), which can be isolated in good yields. Variable‐temperature1H NMR spectroscopy, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, confirms the presence of a rare Tl−H orbital interaction. According to DFT, the1H chemical shift of the Tl‐adjacent hydride ligands of[1] +includes 7.7 ppm of deshielding due to spin‐orbit effects from the heavy Tl atom. This study provides valuable new insights into a rare class of metal hydrides, given that[1][OTf] is only the third isolable species reported to contain a Tl−H interaction. -

Abstract A new nonheme iron(II) complex, FeII(Me3TACN)((OSiPh2)2O) (
1 ), is reported. Reaction of1 with NO(g)gives a stable mononitrosyl complex Fe(NO)(Me3TACN)((OSiPh2)2O) (2 ), which was characterized by Mössbauer (δ =0.52 mm s−1, |ΔE Q|=0.80 mm s−1), EPR (S =3/2), resonance Raman (RR) and Fe K‐edge X‐ray absorption spectroscopies. The data show that2 is an {FeNO}7complex with anS =3/2 spin ground state. The RR spectrum (λ exc=458 nm) of2 combined with isotopic labeling (15N,18O) reveals ν(N‐O)=1680 cm−1, which is highly activated, and is a nearly identical match to that seen for the reactive mononitrosyl intermediate in the nonheme iron enzyme FDPnor (ν(NO)=1681 cm−1). Complex2 reacts rapidly with H2O in THF to produce the N‐N coupled product N2O, providing the first example of a mononuclear nonheme iron complex that is capable of converting NO to N2O in the absence of an exogenous reductant.
