The magnetic behavior of the metastable high-spin (HS) state of the binuclear iron complex [(Fe(H2B(pz)2)2)2 (µ-bipy-ac-bipy)] and the mononuclear complex [Fe(H2B(pz)2)2(bipy)] was investigated at 5 K by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in a magnetic field of 1-10 T. The relaxation time of the spins from the low-spin state to reach the metastable HS state after light-induced excited spin state trapping is faster for the binuclear complex (11 min) as compared to the mononuclear complex (16 min). The spin Hamiltonian parameters obtained from a simulation of the magnetic field map of the EPR measurements indicate a large value of zero-field splitting (ZFS) for both complexes, which can be explained by the contribution of spin-orbit coupling to the ZFS during the decay of the excited singlet states 1T1g to the excited 5T2g metastable HS state.
