Chiral iron(II) complexes, [Fe{( R )‐L} 2 (NCS) 2 ] ( 1 ) and [Fe{( S )‐L} 2 (NCS) 2 ] ( 2 ), and racemic complex [Fe( rac )‐L) 2 (NCS) 2 ] ( 3 ) {L = α‐methyl‐ N ‐(2‐pyridinylmethylene)cyclohexanemethanamine} were synthesized. Their structures and magnetic properties were investigated by X‐ray crystallography, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in the trigonal system with space group P 3 1 21 and P 3 2 21, respectively. All complexes exhibit spin‐crossover (SCO) behavior and light induced excited spin state trapping (LIESST) effects at 532 nm. Complexes 1 and 2 show similar gradual SCO behavior, and complex 3 shows more gradual SCO, which seems to be a result of the different crystal packing, as complex 3 is the symmetric isomer but 1 and 2 are asymmetric.
