Thermal-, pressure- and light-induced spin-crossover behviour in the two-dimensional Hofman-like coordination polymer [Fe(3-Clpy)2Pd(CN)4]
2013
The thermal spin-crossover behaviour, photoexcitation and subsequent relaxation, as well as the pressure-induced spincrossover behaviour at 298 K are discussed for the non-porous two-dimensional Hofmann-like coordination polymer [Fe(3-Clpy)(2)Pd(CN)(4)] (1). The title compound undergoes a two-step, cooperative thermal-induced SCO with critical temperatures T-c1(down arrow) = 159.6 K and T-c1(up arrow) = 164.5 K for the first step and T-c2(down arrow) = 141.4 K and T-c2(up arrow) = 148.4 K for the second step. Irradiation of the low-spin state with green light (514 nm) at 10 K induced the photoexcitation of around 60% of the iron(II) centres to the high-spin state (LIESST effect). The subseq…
Spin crossover and photomagnetism in dinuclear iron(II) compounds
2007
Abstract In this paper, we review recent work reported in the field of molecular spin crossover phenomena in dinuclear compounds. Following a comprehensive overview on the synthesis and properties of new iron(II) dinuclear compounds presenting the spin crossover phenomenon, we focus this review on recent efforts made in studying and understanding the photo-physical properties of the {[Fe(L)(NCX)2]2bpym} (L = bt or bpym, X = S or Se) family of compounds. Finally, literature on the different theoretical approaches treating the static and dynamic properties of dinuclear complexes presenting two-step thermal spin transition is briefly summarized.
Effect of the metal dilution on the thermal and light-induced spin transition in [FexMn1−x(bpp)2](NCSe)2: When T(LIESST) reaches T1/2
2008
International audience; The thermal and light-induced spin transition in [FexMn1−x(bpp)2](NCSe)2 (bpp = 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine) has been investigated by magnetic susceptibility, photomagnetism and diffuse reflectivity measurements. These complexes display a thermal spin transition and exhibit the light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect at low temperature. For each mixed-crystal system, the thermal spin transition temperature, T1/2, and the relaxation temperature of the photo-induced high-spin state, T(LIESST), have been systematically determined. It appears that T1/2 decreases with the metal dilution while T(LIESST) remains unchanged, suggesting that the two interco…
LIESST Effect in Fe(II) 1,2,4-Triazole Chains
2016
One-dimensional Fe(II) chains with 1,2,4-triazole as bridging ligands present the LIESST effect; i.e. their spin state switched from low-spin to high-spin after light irradiation at low temperature. This account summarizes the findings in this area of photomagnetism where 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy was used as a primary detection tool of the LIESST effect.
Spin crossover properties of the [Fe(PM-BiA)2(NCS)2] complex - phases I and II
2003
International audience; In the present review, we reexamine the photomagnetic properties of the [Fe(PM-BiA)2(NCS)2], cis-bis(thiocyanato)-bis[(N-2'-pyridylmethylene)-4-(aminobiphenyl)]iron(II), compound which exhibits, depending on the synthetic method, an exceptionally abrupt spin transition (phase I) with a very narrow hysteresis (T1/2O = 168 K and T1/2N = 173 K) or a gradual spin conversion (phase II) occurring at 190 K. In both cases, light irradiation in the tail of the 1MLCT-LS absorption band, at 830 nm, results in the population of the high-spin state according to the light-induced excited spin-state trapping (LIESST) effect. The capacity of a compound to retain the light-induced HS…

Selected examples from this rapidly expanding field, include spin crossover, stilbenoid and nitrosyl complexes, as well as Prussian blue analogues.
Influence of Metal Dilution on the Light‐Induced Spin Transition in Two 1D Chain Compounds: [Fe x Zn 1– x (btzp) 3 ](BF 4 ) 2 and [Fe x Zn 1– x (endi…
2008
The thermal and light-induced spin transitions in [FexZn1–x(btzp)3](BF4)2 and [FexZn1–x(endi)3](BF4)2 {btzp = 1,2-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)propane; endi = 1,2-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)ethane} chain compounds have been investigated by magnetic susceptibility, photomagnetism and diffuse reflectivity measurements. These compounds display a thermal spin transition and the Light-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping (LIESST) effect at low temperature. For each compound, the thermal spin transition temperature, T1/2, and the relaxation temperature of the photo-induced high-spin state, T(LIESST), have been systematically determined. A decrease in T1/2 induces an increase in T(LIESST). The results are discussed an…
Effect of metal dilution on the light-induced spin transition in [FexZn1-x(phen)2(NCS)2] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline)
2008
International audience; The thermal and light-induced spin transitions in [FexZn1-x(phen)2(NCS)2] (phen = 1,10-phenantholine) have been investigated by magnetic susceptibility, photomagnetism and diffuse reflectivity measurements. These complexes display a thermal spin transition and undergo the light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect at low temperatures. For each compound, the thermal spin transition temperature, T1/2, and the relaxation temperature of the photo-induced high-spin state, T(LIESST), have been systematically determined. It appears that T1/2 decreases with the metal dilution while T(LIESST) remains unchanged. This behaviour is discussed on the basis of the ki…
Critical temperature of the LIESST effect in iron(II) spin crossover compounds
1999
Abstract The light-induced crossover in a series of iron(II) compounds has been investigated by irradiating the sample at 10 K with a Kr + laser coupled to an optical fiber within a SQUID cavity. The temperature dependence of the molar fraction of the light-induced metastable HS state has been recorded for 22 compounds. The critical LIESST temperature, T c (LIESST), has been defined as the temperature for which the light-induced HS information was erased in the SQUID cavity. The dependence of T c (LIESST) as a function of the thermal spin crossover temperature, T 1/2 , has been discussed. The effect of cooperation has been analyzed and the influence of horizontal and vertical displacements …
