Light-induced phenomena in spin crossover complexes have aroused a lot of interest since the discovery of the LIESST (Light-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping) effect in solid state. Here, we demonstrate by means of Raman spectroscopy that a bi-directional spin transition can be obtained at room temperature when applying a nanosecond laser pulse in the hysteresis loop of the spin crossover complex Fe(pyrazine)[Pt(CN)4]. This phenomenon is interpreted as a photo-induced phase transition exhibiting a threshold energy density. In order to provide a deeper insight on the electronic properties of such polymeric materials, X-ray photoemission and absorption experiments have also been performed on a multilayer assembly of thin films of Fe(azopyridine)[Pt(CN)4] that display spin crossover. This information is of paramount importance to shed new light on the photo-induced dynamics, in the subpicosecond time scale, which will be investigated using the femtoslicing facility now available at BESSY GmbH.
