We performed pressure and thermal switching experiments using a novel automatic temperature–pressure–reflectivity set-up. We report here on the pressure and temperature major hysteresis loops of the spin-crossover compound [Fe(PM-BiA)2(NCS)2]. The correlation between the temperature and pressure loops is discussed.
