Abstract High spin (HS) ⇌ low spin (LS) conversions in transition metal complexes are nonradiative transitions between spin states. In this contribution, we present a study of the temperature and pressure dependence of the HS ⇌ LS intersystem crossing dynamics. For some iron(II) spin-crossover complexes, the rate constants were determined by line shape analysis of57Fe Mössbauer spectra. Their temperature dependence is described by an Arrhenius equation, their pressure dependence is interpreted within absolute rate theory. HS → LS conversion rates at low temperatures were determined from the relaxation of light-induced formation of HS states, monitored by optical spectroscopy. Deviations from a simple Arrhenius behaviour due to cooperative effects were found for one complex, low temperature tunnelling is observed for another.
