Spin-crossover complexes with a bi-stable spin-state switching in the room temperature regime, influenced by external stimuli such as light, pressure, temperature, or X-rays, are desirable for applications. With different spectroscopic methods, like Raman- and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we investigated a Fe(II) complex showing a phase transition from a diamagnetic low-spin (S=0) to a paramagnetic high-spin (S=2) state in the room temperature regime (T_1/2↑=330 K) with a broad thermal hysteresis of Δ T = 50 K. Unique changes of the molecular bondings during a temperature-induced phase transition are confirmed by Raman spectroscopy measurements combined with density functional theory calculations. In addition, X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements reveal a thermally reversible soft X-ray induced excited spin-state trapping effect in the room temperature regime.
