Abstract The emerging of molecular spintronics offers a unique chance for the design of molecular devices with different spin-state, and the control of spin-state becomes essential for molecular spin switches. However, the intrinsic spin switching from low-spin to high-spin state is a temperature-dependent process with a small energy barrier that low temperature is required to maintain the low-spin state, and thus the room-temperature operation of single-molecule devices have not yet been achieved. Here, we investigated the single-molecule charge transport through a diamagnetic square planar nickel(II) porphyrin using the scanning tunneling microscope break-junction (STM-BJ) technique. The reversible single-molecule conductance switches are demonstrated by utilizing a coordination-induced spin-state switching to manipulate the spin state between S = 0 and S = 1 at room temperature. Furthermore, the different coordinated complexes could be distinguished from the conductance traces, which cannot be realized by the ensemble investigations such as NMR and UV-vis spectrums. The combined DFT calculations revealed that the conductance changes come from the different spin-states of the molecules varying the number of coordination ligands, suggesting coordination-induced spin-state switching provides a new way towards room-temperature molecular spintronics.

We investigated the Co substitution effect for the magnetic properties in room-temperature ferromagnetic oxide Sr3.1Y0.9Co4O10.5. The substituted element (Al and Ga) and low-spin state Co3+, which was changed from a high-spin or intermediate-spin state by Al or Ga substitution, reduced the Curie temperature to even 1.5 times lower than the temperature estimated from a simple dilution effect. Al3+ preferentially substituted for intermediate-spin-state Co3+ in the ferrimagnetic CoO6 layer and deteriorated the saturation magnetization of Sr3.1Y0.9Co4O10.5. By contrast, Ga3+ substituted for high-spin-state Co3+ in the CoO6 layer and/or the antiferromagnetic CoO4.25 layer and enhanced the saturation magnetization per Co ion. These results indicate that the magnetic properties of Sr3.1Y0.9Co4O10.5 can be controlled by selectively substituting for Co3+ with different spin states.

A new sterically bulky Schiff base ligand, N-(8-quinolyl)-5-tert-butylsalicylaldimine (Hqsal-5-tBu) has been prepared and a series of FeIII complexes, [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]Y (Y = Cl 1, ClO4 2, NO3 3, BF4 4) utilising this ligand are reported and fully characterised. UV-vis spectroscopic and electrochemical studies indicate that 1–4 are high spin (HS) in solution at room temperature and further suggest that the tBu group only slightly alters the electronic properties of 1–4 compared with related [Fe(qsal-5-X)2]+ systems. The structures of [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]Cl·4MeOH·H2O 1, [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]ClO4·MeOH 2, and [Fe(qsal-5-tBu)2]NO3 3 determined at 100 K reveal HS FeIII centres in all cases. Four-fold parallel aryl embraces and π–π interactions serve to link the cations forming 2D sheets mirroring the motifs found in other [Fe(qsal-5-X)2]+ complexes. Despite this the tBu group causes strong distortions at the Fe centre which as magnetic studies reveal prevent spin crossover trapping 1–4 in the HS state.
