First observation of light-induced spin change in vacuum deposited thin films of iron spin crossover complexes

Thin films of [Fe(H(2)Bpz)(2)(phen)] (1) and [Fe(H(2)Bpz)(2)(bipy)] (2) are prepared by vacuum deposition and investigated with respect to their spin crossover behaviour. For the first time light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) is observed in such systems. T(1/2) and T(LIESST) in the fi...

Description
Summary:Thin films of [Fe(H(2)Bpz)(2)(phen)] (1) and [Fe(H(2)Bpz)(2)(bipy)] (2) are prepared by vacuum deposition and investigated with respect to their spin crossover behaviour. For the first time light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) is observed in such systems. T(1/2) and T(LIESST) in the films are in agreement with the bulk values.
