The product of the molar magnetic susceptibility ( M ) and temperature, M T, is 8.57 K cm 3 mol 1 at 300 K, which is consistent with the estimated value of 8.80 K cm 3 mol 1 for 2 Mn II (S = 5/2) and Nb IV (S = 1/2) calculated from molecular field theory. The field-cooled magnetization (FCM) curve at 10 Oe showed a spontaneous magnetization with a Curie temperature (T C ) of 40 K. The remanent magnetization (RM), and zero-field-cooled ldmagnetization i (ZFCM) curves supported this T C value. The magnetization i versus external magnetic field curve at 3K exhibits a saturation magnetization (M s ) value of 8.6 B. Assuming the compound is a ferrimagnet, the observed M s value corresponds to the expected value of 9.0 B. This indicates that an antiferromagnetic interaction occurrs between the Mn II and Nb IV. a b J < 0 Mn II NC Nb IV Figure S5. a, FCM curve in an external magnetic field of 10 Oe. b, Saturation magnetization curve at 3 K.

7. Fitting of M T T curve for Based on the molecular-field (MF) model, the M value of the II II IV (Fe II HS) x (Fe II LS) 2-x [Nb IV (CN) 8 ] (4-pyridinealdoxime) 8 2H 2 O system can be expressed as the following equation. This model is for ternary cyano-bridged metal compound was used, which was derived in the paper (S. Ohkoshi, et al., Phys. Rev. B, 12820, 60 (1999)) S1. In the MF model, molecular fields H i can be expressed as,, and, where H F F II II IV FeHS, H FeLS, and H Nb are the molecular fields acting on the Fe HS, Fe LS, and Nb sites, and various n ij are the molecular-field coefficients, and M FeHS, M FeLS, and M Nb are sublattice magnetizations per unit volume for the Fe II HS, Fe II LS, andnb IV sites, respectively. On the basis of the Curie Weiss law, sublattice magnetization in a paramagnetic region can be express as,, and, where H II 0 is the external magnetic field, C FeHS, C FeLS, and C Nb are Curie constants of Fe HS, Fe II LS, andnb IV sublattices, respectively. is defined as =(M FeHS + M FeLS + M Nb )/ H 0. Thus, the value can be evaluated using Curie constants and molecular-field coefficients as The n ij are related to the exchange coefficients (J ex,ij ) by.,,, and. In addition, C i can be represented as,, and, where B is the Bohr magneton, Z ij is the number of the nearest-neighbor j-site ions surrounding an i-site ion: Z FeHS Nb= Z FeLS Nb= 2; Z NbFeHS =4x; Z NbFeLS = 4(1 x); x is the fraction of Fe II HS, N is Avogadro number, and other quantities are as follows: S FeHS = 2; S FeLS = 0; S Nb = 1/2; and g Nb = 1.99. From the T C value of the photo-induced d phase, the estimated J ex,fehs Nb value is -6.9 cm -1 (See Methods). In contrast, J ex,fels Nb value does not have a value because Fe II LS is diamagnetic.

When the observed M T value for HT form (x= 1) is fitted by the equation for M, the calculated curve is consistent with the observed curve at g Fe II HS = 2.17. Next when the LT form is fitted by M equation with g Fe II HS = 2.17 and g Nb = 1.99, the M T vs. T plots of x= 0.22 show best fit with the observed M T T plots. Hence, the LT form is confirmed to be (Fe II HS) 0.44 (Fe II LS) 1.56 [Nb IV (CN) 8 ] (4-pyridinealdoxime) 8 2H 2 O. It should be note that the 2nd order Zeeman effect on Fe II LS was calibrated in this fitting. Figure S11. Fittings of the M T T curves for the HT and LT forms using molecular field theory.
