Abstract

The Lamb-Mossbauer Factor (LMF) of molecular crystals is expected to depend on the electronic molecular states by their different intramolecular vibrational frequencies. Revisiting Mossbauer spectra obtained by time differential Mossbauer emission spectroscopy of the low spin compound [57Co/Mn(bipy)3](PF6)2 (bipy= 2,2'-bipyridine) a ratio of 1.25 for the LMFs of the low spin ground state and of an excited high spin state decaying in the Mossbauer time window could be evaluated. The difference found is in line with the change of LMF observed for spin crossover compounds where the excited high spin state is populated by the so‐called LIESST effect. The initial population of the high spin state is close to 100%.
