Synthetic chemists have since learned to intertwine discrete molecular entities into entangled architectures with increasing complexity limited only by imagination. This template strategy has recently been implemented in the making woven extended structures. By linking building units that contain a metal complex core, twoand three-dimensional (2D and 3D) frameworks can be constructed where long threads of covalently linked molecules that are interwoven at regular intervals and templated by the metal ions.

The BS method splits up-spin and down-spin electrons into two different spatial orbitals. Within the BS method, therefore, a singlet spin state of the degenerate system is expressed as a spinpolarized state e.g. a singlet diradical. However the spin-polarized wavefunction suffers from a serious problem called a spin contamination error. An approximate spin projection (AP) method can eliminate the error from the BS solution by assuming the Heisenberg model, and one can obtain molecular energies and its derivatives without the error. In this accounts, we illustrate a theoretical background of the BS and AP methods, starting from a bond dissociation of the simplest H2 molecule. And we also show some examples of its application especially for Cr(II)2 complex that is a typical spin-polarized system with a multiple bond.","PeriodicalId":72479,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4019/bjscc.71.57","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70514979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss the fundamental importance of the cooperative effects of multiple Jahn–Teller axes on Mn ions, which inevitably deform the cluster structure in such a direction as to promote substrate binding during S2 → S3 transition and O–O bond formation in the S3 state.

It has been known that the chemical and physical properties of various organic moieties can be influenced by and correlated to their molecular structures. As a result of this, the coordination chemistry of transition metal complexes, through the utilization of various transition metal centers and their incorporation into the organic moieties with diverse combinations, has been found to give rise to superior advantages of greater versatility of molecular design and thus leading to more in-depth understanding for the exploration of photofunctional materials with tunable photophysical and excited state properties. In the past few decades, the photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes have drawn inter-disciplinary attention and resulted in significant impact towards materials and energy research, especially with the detailed investigations on the class of ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes with the characteristic metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited state, arising from their rich photoredox and photoluminescence properties and good stability. These have provided insights into the exploration of molecular-based functional materials with concepts of supramolecular photochemistry. In addition to the ruthenium(II) polypyridine system, researchers also investigated the photophysics and photochemistry of iridium(III) system because of their synthetic versatility, high photoand thermal stabilities with tunable emission color and thus can be applied as triplet emitters and phosphorescent dopants in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). In addition, lots of efforts have also been devoted into the exploration of new classes of luminescent transition metalligand chromophores and their application in materials chemistry and science by understanding and rationalization of their excited state properties. By the utilization of ligands with versatile structural and electronic properties, the excited state properties of transition metal complexes can be fine-tuned and controlled. For example, the incorporation of strong s-donating ligands has been found to cause drastic luminescence enhancement of some classes of transition metal complexes because of the destabilization of non-emissive d–d ligand field excited states. Compared to the d ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) complexes with octahedral geometry, the square-planar d transition metal complexes with coordinationunsaturated nature has been found to exhibit intriguing spectroscopic and luminescence properties due to their unique tendency to form non-covalent metal···metal interactions.
