被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：0(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Multiple proton transfer (PT) controllable by external stimuli plays a crucial role in fundamental chemistry, biological activity, and material science. However, in crystalline systems, controlling multiple PT, which results in a distinct protonation state, remains challenging. In this study, we developed a novel tridentate ligand and iron(II) complex with a short hydrogen bond (HB) that exhibits a PT-coupled spin transition (PCST). Single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements revealed that the positions of the two protons in the complex can be controlled by temperature and photoirradiation based on the thermal- and photoinduced PCST. The obtained results suggest that designing molecules that form short HBs is a promising approach for developing multiple PT systems in crystals.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：50.66(Chemistry, Physical)The application of single-crystal neutron diffraction (SCND) to observe proton-transfer phenomena in crystalline compounds exhibiting unusual protonation states or proton dynamics has garnered significant research interest in recent years. However, proton tautomerism, which results in different protonation states before and after proton transfer, has never been observed using the SCND technique. Thus, to observe the proton tautomerism phenomenon by SCND measurements, we developed an iron(II) complex that forms a large crystal and exhibits a proton-transfer-coupled spin transition (PCST). The presence of the two types of proton tautomers was determined by conventional analysis of the proton position by X-ray crystallography, infrared spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Finally, our results confirmed that proton tautomerism was successfully observed for the first time using variable-temperature SCND measurements.
