Rapid build up of nanooptomechanical transduction in single crystals of a ruthenium-based SO2 linkage photoisomer

Abstract

Single-crystal nanooptomechanical transduction occurs in [Ru(SO2)(NH3)4(H2O)]chlorobenzenesulfonate2, reaching maximal levels within 40 s at 100 K when photostimulated by 505 nm light. Its in situ light-induced crystal structure reveals the molecular origins of this optical actuation: 26.0(3)% of the η1-SO2 ligand photoconverts into an η1-OSO photoisomer which, in turn, induces a 49.6(9)° arene ring rotation in its neighbouring counter ion.
