“…They are intrinsically stable, and have wide ranging properties owing to their versatility with respect to choice of metal ion. [54][55][56][57][58][59][60] Through careful design of the polydentate ligand, the cavity of such helicates can be optimised for favourable host-guest interactions, which can This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2018…”

Spin crossover in discrete polynuclear iron(ii) complexes

Iron(ii) spin crossover (SCO) materials have been widely studied as molecular switches with a wide variety of potential applications, including as displays, sensors, actuators or memory components. Most SCO materials have been either monometallic or polymeric, and it is only relatively recently that chemists have really started to focus on linking multiple metal centres together within the one, discrete, molecule in an effort to enhance the SCO properties, such as abrupt, hysteretic, and multistep switching, as well as the potential for quantum cellular automata, whilst still being readily amenable to characterisation. Here we present a review of the ligand designs of the last two decades that have led to self assembly of discrete di- to poly-nuclear iron(ii) complexes of helicate, cage, cube, and other supramolecular architectures with rich SCO activity, and to an increased focus on host-guest interactions. Analysis of selected octahedral distortion parameters (Σ, CShM) reveals interesting differences between these structural types, for example that the iron(ii) centres in grids are generally significantly more distorted than those in squares or cages, yet are still SCO-active. Of the 127 complexes reviewed (79 published 2012-Feb. 2018), 54% are dinuclear, 10% trinuclear, 31% tetranuclear, and the remaining 5% are penta, hexa and octanuclear. Of the 93 designer ligands utilised in these polynuclear architectures: 60 feature azoles; 55 provide all donors to the Fe(ii) centres (no co-ligands coordinated) and form exclusively 5-membered chelate rings via either bidentate azole-imine/pyridine or tridentate heterocycle-imine/amine/thioether/pyridine-heterocycle binding pockets.

“…They seem to represent an idealized, gender-based role around what appears to be an active mediation, management, and structuring of knowledge of the past in the present. It has been claimed that Viking-age society was extraordinarily fixated on the past, and that the social elite was concerned with creating an intricate referential mosaic of memories and mythologies (Lund & Arwill-Nordbladh, 2016; Williams, 2016). It is, however, worth noting that there is never a constant or homogeneous understanding of the past or a single way of communicating this within society.…”

Echoes of the Past: Women, Memories and Disc-on-Bow Brooches in Vendel- and Viking-period Scandinavia

This article examines the development, handling, and depositions of disc-on-bow brooches from the sixth to tenth centuries ad in the Vendel and Viking periods in Norway and mainland Sweden. A revised typological framework is presented, and the context of these brooches explored. The authors discuss their preservation, re-use, fragmentation, and ritual meaning within ongoing social negotiations and internal conflicts from the late Vendel period into the Viking Age. References to the past in Viking-Age society and the significance of women for maintaining narratives of the past are considered, as are levels of access, control, and definition of narratives of the past in times of social redefinition.

“…Weathering, excavation and reconstruction have markedly altered its exterior form (Figure 1). An initial ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey provided details of the upper ∼2m of stratigraphy, and suggested where original mound material was preserved (Trinks et al 2007). Coring was selected as a minimally intrusive investigative method, and to diminish long-term degradation of the mound, all cores were backfilled with a marine clay-slurry mix to recreate the anaerobic conditions present in parts of the surviving mound.…”

“…The evolving form of the burial mound during construction would have affected interactions between the living community and the dead, with the sourced materials forming the medium for this interaction. Burial in the Viking Age was complex and varied, with aspects of funerary rites akin to performance, and it enabled the (re)creation and renegotiation of oral memory (Price 2010; Williams 2016). Each burial had individual traits within a broad scheme of considerable variation (Jennbert 2006; Lund 2013).…”
