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.
