Abstract :
EPR studies of (NBu4)2Mn2[Cu(opba)]3·6DMSO·1H2O, in the 10–300 K range with in-situ illumination by copper vapour laser radiation (510.5 and 578.2 nm) have given evidence for the following: (i) The EPR results obtained on these compounds as a function of temperature are not predominantly due to demagnetization effects, (ii) the magnetic order is affected by light most likely due to the decoupling of spins followed by electronic excitation. This enables the possibility of photo-induced switching of magnetic order.
