We present the results of our investigation into the effect of irradiation of green light on the high spin <--> low spin transition behavior of the mononuclear iron(II) compound [Fe(bpp){sub 2}](NCS){sub 2{center_dot}}2H{sub 2}O explored with the help of magnetic as well as Moessbauer spectroscopic studies. It has been found that the compound exhibits molecular bistability under irradiation of light due to LIESST effect.
