    Abstract:
    Studies of the spin transition behavior of the mononuclear compound [Fe(pythiaz)(2)](BF(4))(2) have been carried out under hydrostatic pressures up to 9.13 kbar in the 5-300 K temperature range. Under ambient pressure this compound exhibits an approximately half-step (incomplete) HS [Formula: see text] LS transition with T(1/2) = 146 K without any thermal hysteresis. At pressures up to 4.5 kbar the behavior remains similar but with an upward displacement of T(1/2) and a slight decrease in the residual high spin fraction at low T. Application of higher pressures resulted in an almost complete two-step spin transition with several unusual pressure effects. Along with the expected pressure dependence of T(1/2) the surprising appearance of hysteresis in the spin transition curves was observed. It is suggested that the likely origin of this unprecedented behavior is a pressure-induced structural change.
