X‐ray vision : Single‐crystal XRD experiments (see picture) reveal the excited‐state structure of the photomagnetic heterobimetallic title complex. The system shows a decrease in all the iron–ligand bond lengths, suggesting that photoexcitation involves a ligand‐to‐metal charge transfer or a change in the superexchange coupling between the metal centers.
