This insightful thesis explores the innovative magnetic properties of cyanido-bridged metal complexes, making it an essential read for those in the materials science domain. Readers will discover how octacyanidometalates serve as a foundation for studying unique phenomena such as photo-induced magnetization, which occurs due to light-triggered spin-crossover events in iron-based assemblies. The author delves into the intricate interplay between super-ionic conductivity and metamagnetism within manganese-octacyanoniobate systems, presenting a comprehensive understanding of these complex interactions. By examining the incorporation of spin-crossover units and hydrogen-bonding networks into cyanido-bridged structures, this work sheds light on the mechanisms that enable transitions from magnetically disordered to ordered states via photo-irradiation. Such insights are particularly valuable for professionals and researchers focused on the development of advanced optical switching devices, as they illustrate the potential applications of these multifunctional materials in cutting-edge technology. This edition is a must-have for anyone keen on pushing the boundaries of magnetic materials research.
