TL;DR: DFT calculations were done to understand the nature of the magnetic coupling in such asymmetric end-on and end-to-end N(3) bridges, andoretical results show that the double asymmetricend-on bridges produce antiferromagnetic coupling while the end- to-end ones can present ferro- or antiferromeagnetic coupling depending on the copper coordination sphere.

TL;DR: It is shown that complexes displaying frontal pi stacking present spin transition such as 1, 3-A, and 3-B and those involving sideways pi stacking such as complex 2 remain in the HS state.

TL;DR: The compound [Fe(abpt)(2)(tcpd)], which has been characterised as the first SCO molecular chain involving a cyanocarbanion as bridging ligand, is described.

TL;DR: These new compounds are characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements and show strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the Cu(II) metal ions dominated by the magnetic exchange through the bis-chelating bpym.

TL;DR: An original magnetic bistability and a thermochromic transition are observed in a new Cu(II) molecular chain, and a dimerization of the molecular chain is shown, in agreement with the abrupt magnetic transition observed at 30 K.
