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

Abstract

Thin films of [Fe(H2Bpz)2(phen)] (1) and [Fe(H2Bpz)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. T1/2 and TLIESST in the films are in agreement with the bulk values.
