“…6,7 Linkage isomers of various ligands Z have been generated in [ML y L t Z] n complexes by direct chemical reactions, 8 by variation of temperature and through redox-reactions in solutions, [9][10][11][12] through electrochemical oxidation, [13][14][15][16] by pH, 17 and especially through light-irradiation. 3,[18][19][20] Here M is the central atom, usually a transition metal, L y are equatorial ligands with coordination number y, and L t is the ligand trans to the photoswitchable ligand Z (e.g. Z = N 2 , NO, SO, SO 2 , NO 2 ).…”
