Photochemical and thermal isomerization of a ruthenium(II)-alloxazine complex involving an unusual coordination mode
A Ru(II) complex having a flavin analogue as a ligand in a unusual coordination mode exhibits a photochemical and thermal isomerizations, the bistability of the complex is attained by chelate effect and intramolecular CH center dot center dot center dot O interaction.
