Photo- and thermo-induced spin crossover in a cyanide-bridged {Mo(V)2Fe(II)2} rhombus molecule

1364-548XInternational audienceThe self-assembly of [Mo(V)(CN)8](3-) and [Fe(II)(bik)2(S)2](2+) affords a cyanide-bridged {Mo(V)2Fe(II)2} rhombus molecule that shows photomagnetic effect under laser light irradiation at low temperature and exhibits thermo-induced spin crossover near ambient temperature
