We report the mechanisms for reversible and repeatable spin transition in a Prussian blue analog crystal, KCo[Fe(CN)6], derived from first-principles calculations. The forward and reverse transitions are initiated by metal-to-metal charge transfer, followed by the d-electron rearrangement at the Co center. Further, these transitions are strongly correlated with bond lengths within the crystal l...

Perovskite-related Cs4PbBr6 nanocrystals present a "zero-dimensional" crystalline structure where adjacent [PbBr6]4- octahedra do not share any corners. We show in this work that these nanocrystals can be converted into "three-dimensional" CsPbBr3 perovskites by extraction of CsBr. This conversion drastically changes the optoelectronic properties of the nanocrystals that become highly photolumi...

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2002 olecular magnetism has been one of the active areas in molecular chemistry for the last 15 years.1-6 The advantages of molecule-based magnets compared to classical metal and metal oxide ones are that the magnets can be obtained through a selection of proper spin sources (e.g., transition metal ions, organic radicals) and coordinating ligands. On...

A SI1\IPLE METHOD FOR STAINING non-hemoglobin irOn within erythrocytes aIld their precursors and within macrophages and other cells containing particulate iron has been itl use in our laboratories since 1951 . This method has made possible rapid estimates of the amount of non-hemoglobin iron ill the marrow and in the blood in both new and old films of marrow or blood as well as in both newT and...

Prussian blue analogue Co3[Co(CN)6]2 nanostructures with morphologies of truncated nanocubes (polyhedra), cubes and rods, were synthesized in large quantities by a direct dissociation of the single-source precursor K3[Co(CN)6] in a microemulsion system; the molar ratio of H2O to surfactant and the concentration of K3[Co(CN)6] both played important roles in determining the shape of the product.

Unique nanorods and nanobelts of Prussian blue (PB) analogue SmFe(CN)6.4H2O have been successfully synthesized by using reverse micelles as colloidal soft templates; magnetic studies show that the shape of the low-dimensional nanoscale material is a dominating factor for its coercivity due to the effect of shape anisotropy.

In this work, we observed a spin-crossover phenomenon in a cesium iron hexacyanochromate, which is a Prussian blue analogue. This compound showed a thermal phase transition with transition temperatures of 211 K (T1/2 downward arrow) and 238 K (T1/2 upward arrow) due to a spin-crossover on FeII sites. This spin-crossover phase transition is accompanied by a lattice contraction of 0.38 A, but mai...
