For at least a day , stability is imparted to the light‐induced, metastable, high‐spin state of an iron( II ) complex with a strong ligand field (see scheme) at ≥20 K. The lifetime of this state is more than eight orders of magnitude longer than that predicted by the theory of the inverse energy‐gap law.
