The octahedral symmetry of the metal-ligand bonds of spin-crossover (SCO) molecules enables them to switch between high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) electronic configurations when exposed to light or temperature change. The cooperativity between SCO molecules can be studied from bottom-up growth of submonolayer coverages on well-defined substrates by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). A 0.4 monolayer coverage of [Fe(H2B(pypz)(pz))2] was deposited on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and measured by XAS. Analysis of the HS to LS fraction showed that light-induced excited spin-state trapping at 10 K doubles the high-spin fraction compared with the value reached by thermally induced spin-state transition at room temperature. On the other hand, due to the onset of soft-x-ray-induced excited spin-state trapping, the largest amount of LS-state molecules is reached at 60 K, while the transition temperature T1/2 (50% HS and 50% LS) is at 300 K.
