Fig. 2: Local electric field (LEF), charge transfer (Δρ) and magnetic moment changes (ΔM) upon O2 adsorption.

LEF distributions along the Z direction passing through the two representative types of Cr reactive atom (CrI and CrIII) in pristine 2D RT-MF Cr(h-fpyz)2, Δρ and ΔM are calculated on the optimized structure when an O2 molecule is adsorbed on the Cr reactive site performed by Bader analysis. The iso-surface value is 0.0198 e/Å3. a–c for the case of CrI, and (d–f) for the case of CrIII. In (a) and (d), Cr atoms are set as the position references.
