We present longitudinal field muon spin relaxation (μSR) measurements in the unilluminated state of the photosensitive molecular magnetic Co-Fe Prussian Blue analogues M_1-2xCo_1+x[Fe(CN)₆]·zH₂O, where M=K and Rb with x=0.4 and ≃0.17, respectively. These results are compared to those obtained in the x=0.5 stoichiometric limit Co_1.5[Fe(CN)₆]·6H₂O, which is not photosensitive. We find evidence for correlation between the range of magnetic ordering and the value of x in the unilluminated state, which can be explained using a site percolation model.
