ABSTRACT
Light-induced excited spin-state trapping reactions in iron pyridinic complexes allow the iron's low-to-high spin transition in a sub-picosecond timescale. Employing a recently developed model for [Fe(2,2'-bipyridine)3]2+ photochemical spin-crossover reaction in conjunction with quantum wavepacket dynamics, we explore the possibility of controlling the reaction through external electromagnetic fields, aiming at stabilizing the initial metal-to-ligand charge transfer states. We show that simple Gaussian-shaped electromagnetic fields have a minor effect on the population kinetics. However, introducing vibrationally excited initial wavepacket representations allows for maintaining the population trapped in the metal-to-ligand charge transfer states. Using optimal control theory, we propose an electromagnetic field shape that increases the lifetime of metal-to-ligand charge transfer states. These results open the route for controlling the iron photochemistry through the action of external electric fields.
