The results are compared to the thermal and lightinduced spin transition properties of the parent SCO complexes [Fe(bpz)2(bipy)] (1) and [Fe(bipy)2(NCS)2](2). [Fe(bpz)2(4-PAbipy)] (1a) undergoes a stepwise spin transition whereas [Fe(bpz)2(5-PAbipy)] (1b) exhibits a one-step transition with a 6 K-wide hysteresis. For [Fe(bpz)2(tBu5-PAbipy)] (1c) the spin transition to the low-spin state is incomplete. Qualitatively similar changes of the SCO behavior are observed for the complexes [Fe(4-PAbipy)2(NCS)2](2a) and [Fe(5-PAbipy)2(NCS)2](2b). In comparison to the parent system 2, a strengthening of intermolecular interactions leads to a stabilization of the low-spin state. Evidence for the LIESST behavior could be obtained for all new compounds by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements as well as UV/Vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy.}, author = {Schmidt, Sven Olaf and Naggert, Holger and Buchholz, Axel and Brandenburg, Hannah and Bannwarth, Alexander and Plass, Winfried and Tuczek, Felix}, year = {2016}, title = {Thermal and Light-Induced Spin Transitions of Fe II Complexes with 4- and 5-(Phenylazo)-2,2$\prime$-bipyridine Ligands: Intra- vs. Intermolecular Effects}, pages = {2175--2186}, volume = {2016}, number = {13-14}, issn = {1434-1948}, journal = {European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.201501252} }
