<p>Determination of ground-state spins of open-shell transition metal complexes is critical to understanding catalytic and materials properties but also challenging with approximate electronic structure methods. As an alternative approach, we demonstrate how structure alone can be used to guide assignment of ground-state spin from experimentally determined crystal structures of transition metal complexes. We first identify the limits of distance-based heuristics from distributions of metal–ligand bond lengths of over 2,000 unique mononuclear Fe(II)/Fe(III) transition metal complexes. To overcome these limits, we employ artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict spin-state-dependent metal–ligand bond lengths and classify experimental ground state spins based on agreement of experimental structures with the ANN predictions. Although the ANN is trained on hybrid density functional theory data, we exploit the method-insensitivity of geometric properties to enable assignment of ground states for the majority (ca. 80-90%) of structures. We demonstrate the utility of the ANN by data-mining the literature for spin-crossover (SCO) complexes, which have experimentally-observed temperature-dependent geometric structure changes, by correctly assigning almost all (> 95%) spin states in the 46 Fe(II) SCO complex set. This approach represents a promising complement to more conventional energy-based spin-state assignment from electronic structure theory at the low cost of a machine learning model. </p>

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

Thermodynamic data are reported for the addition of pyridine and bipyridine in benzene solution to monothio-β-diketone complexes, ML2, of nickel(11), copper(11), zinc(11) and mercury(11). NiL2 gives NiL2(py)2 and NiL(bpy); ZnL2 gives ZnL2(py) and ZnL2(bpy); in both cases the data show that bipyridine is bidentate. CuL2 gives CuL2 (py) and CuL2 (bpy), with almost equal enthalpies of formation, but the higher stability of CuL2(bpy) shows bipyridine is probably bidentate. HgL2 gives HgL2(py) and a reaction with bipyridine which shows that an extremely unstable adduct is formed. All data were obtained by calorimetric titration.
