  25. Approaches for the measurement of J(T) Problem: gCu (and thus gA, gB, gC) are functions of T • Solutions: • obtain isotropic geff(T) from the powder spectra and then simulate it •  use single-crystal orientations where • this effect is minimum T EPR or magnetic susceptibility? J(T) can be obtained by fitting experimental geff(T)

  27. Motivation: LIESST on iron(II) spin crossover compounds dark, 15 K  55 K,  15 K S=2 light, 15 K  97 K  55 K,  15 K  148 K S=0

  28. Motivation: LIESST on iron(II) spin crossover compounds So far LIESST has been observed on spin-crossover complexes of iron(II/III), and never on copper(II)

  29. Can LIESST occur in breathing crystals Cu(hfac)2LR ? • Some “prerequisites” for LIESST observation: • spin transition • significant geometry (bond length) • difference between HS and LS states • (Cu-O)~0.3 A • UV/near-IR absorption band • slow relaxation between HS and LS states - ???

  30. Experimental 1.4 W 14 mW • the crystals are very dark – the light is absorbed within a thin outer layer • solution: a mixture of grinded crystals with glycerol (suspension) • precaution: particles size should be adjusted experimentally polycrystalline powder of Cu(hfac)2LPr  suspension Cu(hfac)2LPr/ glycerol • no chemical influence of glycerol

  31. EPR-detected LIESST on Cu(hfac)2LPr T=180 K T=7 K, dark 7 K, light 5 min 3 hours 20 K -> 7 K SS=strongly-coupled state (|J|>>kT) WS=weakly-coupled state (|J|<<kT)

  32. LIESST of Cu(hfac)2LPr vs. time and T 13 K 10 K 7 K • before illumination after illumination, waiting, lifting T up to 20 K and cooling back to 7 K • no photochemistry/photodecay • The conversion into a weakly-coupled state is certainly not due to a heating by light

  33. Supposed mechanism J 2J Intermediate excited state |J|>>kT |J|<<kT Weakly-coupled state Strongly-coupled state

  34. Conclusions General trends of EPR applied to the strongly exchange-coupled spin triads are studied. Specific characteristics originate from: - predominant population of ground spin multiplet (“polarization”) • dynamic mixing (electron spin exchange) processes •  Spin transitions in the family of “breathing” crystals Cu(hfac)2LR are studied and classified. The correspondence with the magnetic susceptibility data is established •  The approaches for the measurement of temperature dependences of exchange interaction J(T) are developed and applied for the compounds Cu(hfac)2LR • Effective “magnetic dilution” due to the phase spin transition in two-spin complexes (Cu(hfac)2LMe) allows us to obtain the value of dipole-dipole interaction in exchange-coupled spin pair as well as the value of exchange interaction between neighboring pairs • The light-induced spin state conversion (LIESST effect) is found in the breathing crystals Cu(hfac)2LR. The excited state lives for hours-to-days at cryogenic temperatures
