19. In our previous article [S. Ohkoshi, H. Tokoro, M. Utsunomiya, M. Mizuno, M. Abe, and K. Hashimoto, J. Phys. Chem. B 106, 2423 (2002)], we interpreted this phase transition is due to the spin transition between a high-spin state (S = 5/2) and an intermediate-spin state (S = 3/2) of Mn(II) ion. However, the recent results of synchrotron-radiation x-ray powder diffraction and extended x-ray absorption fine structure experiments suggested that the electronic state of the LT phase in Mn(III)(S = 2)-NC-Fe(II)(S = 0) [Y. Moritomo, K. Kato, A. Kuriki, M. Taketa, M. Sakata, H. Tokoro, S. Ohkoshi, and K. Hashimoto, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 71, 2078 (2002) and T. Yokoyama, H. Tokoro, S. Ohkoshi, K. Hashimoto, K. Okamoto, and T. Ohta, Phys. Rev. B 66, 184111 (2002)]. Hence, we corrected our model that the phase transition is caused by the change from Mn(II)(S = 5/2)-NC-Fe(III)(S=1/2) to Mn(III)(S = 2)-NC-Fe(II)(S = 0) states with decreasing temperature.
