Title: A photo-induced excited state structure of a hetero-bimetallic ionic pair complex, Nd(DMA)[subscript 4](H[subscript 2]O)[subscript 4]Fe(CN)[subscript 6]·3H[subscript 2]O, analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction

The excited state crystal structure of the ionic complex Nd(DMA){sub 4}(H{sub 2}O){sub 4}-Fe(CN){sub 6} {center_dot} 3H{sub 2}O (DMA = dimethylacetamide) has been determined at 15 K upon UV illumination by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Significant structural changes are observed around the Fe site in the excited state. These changes are similar to those observed for a related molecular compound exhibiting photomagnetic properties.
