Abstract
A helium gas pressure cell for pressures up to 1 kbar (0.1 GPa) has be en developed in conjunction with a closed-cycle He refrigerator allowi ng variable temperatures between 15 and 300 K. Both cell and refrigera tor are equipped with optical windows suitable for photophysical measu rements, such as temperature- and pressure-dependent absorption spectr oscopy or laser flash photolysis. Examples of measurements on iron(II) spin-crossover systems are given. In these compounds, comparatively s mall external pressures induce significant changes in the thermodynami c equilibrium as well as in the relaxation dynamics.
