Abstract
We have performed a photoemission study on an organometal spin-crossover complex, [ Fe(2-pic) 3] Cl 2 EtOH , using the combination of synchrotron radiation and laser. The core-level and valence-band photoemission spectra were measured for high-spin, low-spin, and photoinduced phases. The N 1s and valence-band spectra showed remarkable changes due to the photoinduced phase transition, indicating that the electron charge was transferred from nitrogen to iron at the photoinduced phase transitions. It was also found that the valence-band structure of the photoinduced phase is very different from that of the high-spin phase caused by the thermally induced phase transition.
