A charge transfer phase transition with thermal hysteresis loop is observed in a series of rubidium manganese hexacyanoferrates, RbMn[Fe(CN)6] (1), Rb0.88Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.96·0.6H2O (2), and Rb0.97Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.99·0.2H2O (3). This phase transition is accompanied by a structural change from cubic (F4¯3m) to tetragonal (I4¯m2). Its high-temperature (HT) and low-temperature (LT) phases are composed of MnII(S=2/5)NC–FeIII(S=1/2) and MnIII(S=2)–NC–FeII(S=0), respectively. The phase transition is caused by a metal-to-metal charge transfer from MnIIto FeIIIand a Jahn–Teller distortion of the produced MnIIIion. At the ferromagnetic state in LT phase of 2, the photo-induced phase transition is observed, i.e., magnetization is quenched by the irradiation with only one shot of laser pulse. This phenomenon is caused by a photo-induced phase transition from the LT phase to the HT phase. In 3, optical switching between LT and HT phases at room temperature in paramagnetic region is observed.
