Spin‐forbidden reactions: computational insight into mechanisms and kinetics
Abstract
Many chemical reactions involve one or more changes in the total electronic spin of the reacting system as part of one or more elementary steps. Computational and theoretical methods that can be used to understand such reaction steps are described, and a number of recent examples are highlighted. A particularly strong focus is given to general rules that govern multistep reactions of this type. The two most important rules are (1) that spin‐state change without change in atom connectivity, or spin crossover, is facile and rapid, at least when it is exothermic; and (2) that reactions involving spin‐state change and changes in atom connectivity tend to prefer stepwise mechanisms in which spin crossover steps alternate with spin‐allowed bond‐making and breaking steps.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
