Institut für Anorganische und Analytische Chemie, Johannes GutenbergUniversität, D-6500 Mainz, West Germany A brief introduction of the phenomenon of spin crossover in transition metal complexes is followed by a discussion of the results from Mössbauer effect measurements on the metal dilution effect in the solid solutions Cl • EtOH (M — Zn, Co) and 2

— Mn, Co, Ni). It is shown that the spin transition behavior changes markedly with the iron concentration. It is also demonstrated that the nature of the crystal solvent molecules as well as the method of sample preparation influence the spin crossover behavior. A presentation of some examples for structural changes accompanying spin crossover concludes this review.
