Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes are fascinating versatile photoactive molecules that can either undergo NO linkage photoisomerization or NO photorelease. The photochromic response of three ruthenium mononitrosyl complexes, <i>trans</i>-[RuCl(NO)(py)₄]<sup>2+</sup>, <i>trans</i>-[RuBr(NO)(py)₄]<sup>2+</sup>, and <i>trans</i>-(Cl,Cl)[RuCl₂(NO)(tpy)]⁺, has been investigated using density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. The N to O photoisomerization pathways and absorpti ...[more]
