A prerequisite to using these materials is the understanding of the structural changes following the spin transition at out-of-equilibrium conditions. So far, out-of-equilibrium studies in SCO solids have been focused on mononuclear complexes, though a growing number of oligonuclear SCO complexes showing cooperative effects are being reported. Here, we use time-resolved pink Laue crystallography to study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a [2 × 2] tetranuclear metallogrid of the form [Fe II4 LMe4](BF4)4·2MeCN ([LMe]− = 4-methyl-3,5-bis{6-(2,2′-bipyridyl)}pyrazolate). The out-of-equilibrium spin state switching induced by a ps laser pulse demonstrates that the metallogrid exhibits a multi-step response similar to that reported for mononuclear complexes. Contrary to the mononuclear complexes, the metallogrid shows two types of elastic distortions at different time scales. The first is a short-range distortion that propagates over the entire Fe4 grid complex during the ps time scale, and it is caused by the rearrangement of the coordination sphere of the photo-switching ion and the constant feedback between strongly linked metal ions. The second is a long-range distortion caused by the anisotropic expansion of the lattice during the ns time scale, observed in mononuclear materials. The structural analysis demonstrates that the long-range prevails over the short-range distortion, inducing the largest deformation of both the entire grid and the coordination sphere of each metal ion. The present study sheds light on the out-of -equilibrium dynamics of a non-cooperative oligonuclear complex.}, cin = {FS-SCS}, ddc = {540}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)FS-SCS-20131031}, pnm = {633 - Life Sciences – Building Blocks of Life: Structure and Function (POF4-633) / 6G3 - PETRA III (DESY) (POF4-6G3) / SFB 1073 C02 - In-situ hochauflösende Untersuchung des aktiven Zustands bei der (photo-) elektrochemischen Wasserspaltung (C02) (240172646) / SFB 1073 B06 - Echtzeituntersuchungen der optischen Anregung in oligonuklearen Metallkomplexen mit schaltbaren Spin- und Ladungszuständen (B06) (240171831)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-633 / G:(DE-HGF)POF4-6G3 / G:(GEPRIS)240172646 / G:(GEPRIS)240171831}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)External-20140101 / EXP:(DE-H253)P-P11-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:36315244}, UT = {WOS:000877125300001}, doi = {10.1039/d2dt02638d}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/482965}, }
