Abstract

A quasi-quantitative photo-induced low-spin (LS) → high-spin (HS) conversion of Fe^II ions has been observed in the [Fe(TRIM) ₂]Cl₂ complex by irradiating the sample with blue light (488 nm) at 10 K. The time dependence of the HS → LS relaxation has been studied between 10 K and 44 K by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements. These relaxation curves could be satisfactorily fitted by mono-exponential decays including tunnelling effect except for temperatures below 30 K. The introduction of a distribution of vibrational frequencies into this model improved significantly the fits in the low-temperature range and gave a good agreement with the experimental data in the whole temperature range suggesting a multi-rate relaxation process in this complex.
