description

Abstract In the present review article we discuss the results of investigations of the influence of hydrostatic pressure (up to 1.2 GPa) on the spin transition behaviour in coordination compounds of 3d transition metal ions. The systems under investigation are mononuclear spin crossover compounds of iron(II) and chromium(II), dinuclear complexes of iron(II) exhibiting coexistence of intramolecular anti-ferromagnetic coupling and thermal spin crossover, and 1D, 2D and 3D polynuclear spin crossover complexes of iron(II). It is demonstrated that the application of hydrostatic pressure serves as a tool for modifying the ligand field strength in a controlled manner.
