The phenylazopyridine(PAP)-functionalized Ni-porphyrin-based molecular switch, dubbed "record player" (RP), has recently drawn considerable attention as it shows magnetic bistability at room temperature in homogeneous solution upon irradiation[Venkataramani et al., Science 331 (2011)]. The reversible photoswitching process between the diamagnetic low- and the paramagnetic high-spin compound occurs under isomerization and (de-)coordination of the PAP moiety. Suprisingly, the spin-crossover seems to be triggered by absoption in the porphyrin marcrocycle rather than photoisomerization of the PAP. To shed light on the underlying mechanism, we have monitored the ultrafast dynamics of the cis- and trans-PAP RP by means of fs transient absorption spectroscopy after photoexcitation. While the low-spin compound shows virtually identical dynamics to pure Ni-porphyrin without formation of any identifiable spin-switching product, the high-spin compound shows formation of the low-spin product within 12 ps with an estimated quantum yield of 6 ± 1 %.
