A huge increase in the magnetization of two coordination chains based on tetravalent octacyanidometalates (W IV and Mo IV ) is observed on irradiation with 436 nm light, while no such behavior is observed for the Nb IV analogue. A photomagnetic response based solely on [W IV (CN) 8 ] 4− is demonstrated for the first time. The observed behavior is attributed to the light‐induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effect at the octacyanidometalate, and to the resulting magnetic exchange ON/OFF photoswitching between the Mn II center and the photoinduced high‐spin ( S =1) W IV or Mo IV centers.
