Abstract

We have investigated the magnetic properties of a photoresponsive organic-inorganic hybrid system, (SP-R)[FeIIFeIII(dto) 3] (SP = spiropyran; R = Me, Et, Pr; dto = C2O 2S2), under hydrostatic pressures. At ambient pressure, (SP-Et)[FeIIFeIII(dto)3] and (SP-Pr)[Fe IIFeIII(dto)3] undergo one and two ferromagnetic phase transitions corresponding to the high-temperature phase with the spin configuration of FeII(S = 2)-FeIII(S = 1/2), while (SP-Me)[FeIIFeIII(dto)3] undergoes two ferromagnetic phase transitions corresponding to the coexistence of the high-temperature phase and the low-temperature phase with the spin configuration of FeII(S = 0)-FeIII(S = 5/2). Under hydrostatic pressures, (SP-R)[FeIIFeIII(dto)3] (R = Et, Pr) undergo a new ferromagnetic phase transition corresponding to the low-temperature phase caused by the pressure-induced charge transfer phase transition.
