Description
In the last few years we have studied a number of complexes containing the photoswitchable
ligands NO and NO2 [1-4]. On the examples of [RuX(NO)2(PR3)2]BF4 (PR3 = PPh3, PCyp3,
Pcy3; X=Cl, Br, I) and [Rh(NO)(NO2)2(But
2PH)2] we will demonstrate how the combination of
photocrystallography and infrared spectroscopy allows for structural characterization of the
photoinduced linkage isomers (PLI) as well as deducing a general scheme for their generation.
Furthermore, we will discuss the possibility of selectively addressing one or the other ligand
for generation of a NO or NO2 linkage isomer by choosing appropriate excitation wavelengths.
