Preferred Label : spin-state transition;
IUPAC definition : An electronic transition from a high-spin state to a low-spin state, or vice versa.
Example: With an increase in temperature Co sup 3 /sup ions in LaCoO sub 3 /sub
transform from a low-spin state (t 2g 6 e g 0) to the high-spin state (t 2g 4 e g
2).;
