Abstract
To achieve fine regulation of FeII SCO behavior, a series of trinuclear cyanido-bridged complexes trans-[CpMen(dppe)MII(CN)]2[Fe1II(abpt)2](OTf)2 (1-4) (1, M = Fe2 and n = 1; 2, M = Fe2 and n = 4; 3, M = Fe2 and n = 5; 4, M = Ru and n = 5; CpMen = alkyl cyclopentadienyl with n = 1, 4, 5; dppe = 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)ethane; abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole and OTf = CF3SO3-) were synthesized and fully characterized by using elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, magnetic measurements, variable-temperature IR spectroscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. It is worth mentioning that different from many mononuclear Fe(abpt)2X2 (X = NCS, NCSe, N(CN)2, C(CN)3, (NC)2CC(OCH3)C(CN)2, (NC)2CC(OC2H5)C(CN)2, C16SO3 and Cl) complexes with more than one polymorph, only one polycrystalline form was found in complexes 1-4. Moreover, the thermally induced SCO behaviors of these four complexes are independent of intermolecular π-π interactions. The electron-donating ability of the CCN-terminal fragment of CpMen(dppe)MIICN can be flexibly regulated by changing the methyl number (n) of the cyclopentadiene ligand or metal ion type (MII). These investigations indicate that the electron-donating ability of the CCN-terminal fragment has an influence on the SCO behavior of Fe1II. The spin transition temperature (T1/2) of the complexes decreases with the increase of the electron-donating ability of the fragment CpMen(dppe)MII. This study provides a new strategy to predict and precisely regulate the behaviors of SCO complexes.

Abstract
The synthesis and structures of bis[4-amino-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N2,N3]bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II), [Co(NCS)2(C12H10N6)2] or Co(NCS)2(abpt)2, and bis[4-amino-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N2,N3]bis(thiocyanato-κN)nickel(II), [Ni(NCS)2(C12H10N6)2] or Ni(NCS)2(abpt)2, are reported. In both cases, two polymorphs, A and B, were identified and structurally characterized. For both polymorphs, the structures obtained with the different metals, i.e. CoII or NiII, were found to be isostructural. All of the structures contained an intramolecular N-H...N hydrogen bond, C-H...N interactions and π-π stacking interactions. No structural evidence was observed for a thermal spin crossover for either of the Co(NCS)2(abpt)2 polymorphs between 300 (2) and 120 (2) K.
