Covalency control of photomagnetic relaxation in a manganese(II) photoswitch.
Article in Nature chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Switching the electronic spin state in molecules by light is achieved via chemical bond reshuffling or light-induced excited spin state trapping. These procedures either require large-amplitude nuclear motions or cryogenic temperatures limiting their application in data storage or quantum computing devices. Here we show that a carbene manganese(II) complex undergoes light-induced excited spin state trapping at 141 K in solution and 112.5 K in the solid state. Irradiation quantitatively switches from low- to high-spin in solution and in the solid. The lifetime of the metastable high-spin state extrapolated from experimental data amounts to over 1 million years at 77 K. Key to success for the very long lifetime is the high reorganization energy due to high metal-ligand bond covalency, and hence, a large barrier height and width for the spin relaxation, paving the way for photo-switchable magnetic materials operating at ambient temperature.
