Soft‐X‐ray‐Induced Redox Isomerism in a Cobalt Dioxolene Complex

Abstract

A soft touch: Interconversion of two redox isomers of a cobalt dioxolene complex (see picture; Cat: catecholato, SQ: semiquinonato) is stimulated by soft X-rays. Analysis of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra shows that the soft-X-ray-induced redox isomer is the same as that obtained by optical irradiation of the sample in the near-IR region or by warming the sample.
