TLDR
The magnetization in the ferrimagnetic region below 16 kelvin was substantially increased after illumination and could be restored almost to its original level by thermal treatment and these effects are thought to be caused by an internal photochemical redox reaction.
Abstract
Photoinduced magnetization was observed in a Prussian blue analog, K0.2Co1.4- [Fe(CN)6]·6.9H2O. An increase in the critical temperature from 16 to 19 kelvin was observed as a result of red light illumination. Moreover, the magnetization in the ferrimagnetic region below 16 kelvin was substantially increased after illumination and could be restored almost to its original level by thermal treatment. These effects are thought to be caused by an internal photochemical redox reaction. Furthermore, blue light illumination could be used to partly remove the enhancement of the magnetization. Such control over magnetic properties by optical stimuli may have application in magneto-optical devices.

Spin crossover phenomena in Fe(II) complexes

TL;DR: The behavior of spin crossover compounds is among the most striking and fascinating shown by relatively simple molecular species as discussed by the authors, and a review aims to draw attention to the various ways in which spin crossover phenomena are manifested in iron(II) complexes, to offer some rationalisation for these, and to highlight their possible applications.

Organic and Organometallic Molecular Magnetic Materials—Designer Magnets

TL;DR: In this paper, a tutorial of typical magnetic behavior of molecular materials is presented and three distinct models (intramolecular spin coupling through orthogonal orbitals in the same spatial region within a molecule/ion, intermolecular spins coupling through pairwise configuration interaction between spin-containing moieties, and dipole-dipole, through-space interactions) which enable the design of new molecular-based magnetic materials are discussed.
