On bistability in molecular systems: Photomagnetic studies of inorganic complexes

Description

Photo-induced effects have been detected by magnetic measurements, Moessbauer spectroscopy and reflectivity. The LIESST effect has been achieved in the spin-crossover system [FexCo1-x(btr)2(NCS)2].H2O. We investigated the purely photo-induced magnetism of a Prussian Blue analogue Rb0.52Co[Fe(CN)6]0.84, 2.31 H2O, involving an optical electron transfer from FeII to CoIII. Inherent aspects of photomagnetic experiments are described: bulk and surface effects, magnetic and electronic metastabilities of the photo-excited state
