A single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition in [Co(NH3)5NO2]Br2 at high pressure: a step towards understanding linkage photo-isomerisation†
Abstract
Changes in the crystal structure of [Co(NH3)5NO2]Br2 – including a previously unknown single-crystal to single-crystal phase transition above 6.0 GPa – were followed from ambient pressure to 6.9 GPa and discussed in relation to the structural mechanism of homogeneous linkage photoisomerisation that is accompanied by photomechanical effects in the same compound.
