Abstract

We report a bidirectional reversible light-induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect featuring an associated memorey effect in an Fe(II) spin-crossover complex [FeL(CN)2]·H2O (where L is a Schiff-base macrocyclic ligand). Depending on the illumination history, bidirectional LIESST processes have been successfully observed that are induced by irradiation with the same two wavelengths. A large zero-point energy difference, strong overlapping spectra of the high-spin and low-spin bands and image internal pressure could account for this photomagnetic phenomenon.
