description

The lineshapes of Mossbauer spectra of the iron(II) spin crossover complex [Fe(6-mepy)3 tren] (PF6)2 are affected by the dynamics of the HS⇌LS equilibrium. The lineshapes are reproduced with a stochastic two-state-relaxation-model yielding rate constants similar to those determined for related complexes in solution. Application of an external pressure of 150 MPa increases the relaxation rate.
