Abstract
We report measurements of the photoinduced FeII spin crossover reaction dynamics in solution via time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy. EXAFS measurements reveal that the iron-nitrogen bond lengthens by 0.21±0.03 Å in the high-spin transient excited state relative to the ground state. XANES measurements at the Fe L-edge show directly the influence of the structural change on the ligand-field splitting of the FeII 3d orbitals associated with the spin transition.
