Photoexcited Crystallography of Diplatinum Complex by Multiple-exposure IP Method

摘要

Molecular distortion of a photoexcited diplatinum(II) complex in a single crystal has been directly observed by accurate synchrotron radiation diffraction studies. Photoexcited crystallographic analysis has revealed that a small portion of [Pt_2(pop)_4]~(4-) (pop=H_2O_5P_2~(2-)) complex shows the Pt-Pt bond shrinkage of 0.23 A under blue laser irradiation.
