Photocrystallography reveals new metastable nitrosyl linkage isomers in the solid state
نویسنده
چکیده
Using the combined techniques of photocrystallography and infrared spectroscopy is a very powerful method for generating and establishing the structures of metastable linkage isomers in the solid state as exemplified by the work of Casaretto et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 35-44] on [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4.

Multiple light-induced NO linkage isomers in the dinitrosyl complex [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4 unravelled by photocrystallographic and IR analysis
Multiple light-induced reversible metastable NO linkage isomers (PLIs) have been detected in the dinitrosyl compound [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4 by a combination of photocrystallographic and IR analysis. The IR signature of three PLI states has been clearly identified, with estimated populations of 59% (PLI-1), 8% (PLI-2) and 5% (PLI-3) for a total population of the metastable state of 72%. The struc...
متن کاملGeneration of one light-induced metastable nitrosyl linkage isomer in [Pt(NH3)4Cl(NO)]Cl2 in the red spectral range.
One metastable linkage nitrosyl isomer can be generated in [Pt(NH(3))(4)Cl(NO)]Cl(2) by irradiation with light in the red spectral range. The potential energy barrier for the thermal relaxation of the metastable state to the ground state has an amount of E(A) = (0.27 +/- 0.03) eV. The decay follows the Arrhenius law and E(A) is independent of temperature. At room temperature the metastable stat...

The nitrite ® nitro isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (III) halides has been known. In this paper, the effect of the size of the counter ions (noncoordinated groups) on the rate of isomerization in nitritopentaamine cobalt (III) halides, is reported. The rate of isomerization is decreased by increasing the size of the counter ions. This decrease is explained on the...
متن کاملCrystallography of molecular excited states . Transition - metal nitrosyl complexes and the study of transient species
The study of photoinduced processes in crystals is a frontier area of crystallographic research, which requires development of novel experimental and computational methods. In a series of studies, long-lived metastable states, generated upon photoirradiation of transition-metal nitrosyl complexes, have been identified as ç nitrosyl and isonitrosyl linkage isomers, and their detailed geometry ha...

Over the last 30 years the single crystal photocrystallographic technique has been developed to determine the three-dimensional crystal and molecular structures of metastable species which have been generated in the crystal photochemically. Transition metal complexes that have been investigated using this methodology include complexes that contain nitrosyl, dinitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitrit...
