Switchable molecules: The electronic configurations of the Fe center intrans‐[Fe(tzpy)2(NCS)2] in low‐spin, high‐spin, and LIESST states (LIESST=light‐induced excited spin‐state trapping) were confirmed by K‐ and L‐edge X‐ray absorption and magnetic measurements. The molecular structures at 40 K before and after irradiation are superimposed in the picture, which demonstrates a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transition by irradiation.Two polymorphs of mononuclear six‐coordinate iron(II) spin‐crossover complextrans‐[Fe(tzpy)2(NCS)2] (tzpy=3‐(2‐pyridyl)[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5‐a]pyridine) (1) were isolated and structurally characterized. According to the thermally dependent magnetic measurements, polymorphAundergoes a gradual spin transition from a paramagnetic high‐spin state (5T2,S=2, HS‐1) above 200 K to a diamagnetic low‐spin state (1A1,S=0, LS‐1) below 120 K, whereas polymorphBshows an abrupt spin transition withT1/2at 102 K. Molecular and crystal structures of polymorphAin the HS‐1 and LS‐1 states were studied at 300 and 40 K, respectively. Significant differences in FeN distances and coordination geometries of Fe were found between the two spin states, as expected. Light‐induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) was observed upon irradiating the crystal with 532 nm laser light at 40 K, whereupon a metastable high‐spin state (HS‐2) was formed; the molecular and crystal structure of this metastable state were investigated by a pump and probe method because of its relatively fast relaxation. The electronic configuration of the Fe center in the HS‐1, LS‐1, and LIESST (HS‐2) states were further confirmed by Fe K‐ and L‐edge absorption spectroscopy. In addition, the CN stretching frequency on the ligand can also be followed through the spin transition. The excitation and relaxation process concerning such metastable state were followed by the CN stretching frequency and magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature ranges 15–55 K and 5–80 K, respectively. The structure and electronic configuration of the LIESST state of polymorphAwere firmly established by X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray absorption, infrared absorption, and magnetic measurements. A single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal transition through irradiation was demonstrated. The changes in structure and electronic configuration as a result of the spin transition are believed to occur concurrently.
