Abstract
The study of the metastable states, obtained by thermal quenching or by light irradiation in the [{Co(prm)2}2{Co(H2O)2}{W(CN)8}2]·4H2O complex, is reported using powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, optical reflectivity, and magnetic measurements. This compound is characterized by a electron-transfer (ET) phase transition occurring between a high-temperature phase (HT phase) formed by paramagnetic CoII–WV units and a low-temperature phase (LT phase) formed by diamagnetic CoIII–WIV units. Metastable phases can be induced at low temperature either by thermal quenching rapidly cooling phase named RC or by irradiation photo-induced phase named PI similar to the well-known Light-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping effect. The relaxation dynamics of the metastable phases have been studied and revealed some differences between the RC and PI phases. The sigmoidal shape of the relaxation curves in the RC phase is in agreement with the cooperative nature of the process. Thermodynamic parameters that govern the relaxation have been determined and used to reproduce the experimental Thermal-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping curve.Keywords
