Title: η2-SO2 Linkage Photoisomer of an Osmium Coordination Complex

Abstract

We report the discovery of an n2-SO2 linkage photoisomer in the osmium pentaammine coordination complex, [Os(NH3)5(SO2)][Os(NH3)5(SO3)]Cl4 (1). Its dark and light-induced crystal structures are determined via synchrotron X-ray crystallography, at 100K, where the photo-induced state is metastable in a single crystal that has been stimulated by 505 nm light for 2.5 hrs. The SO2 photoisomer in the [Os(NH3)5(SO2)]2+ cation contrasts starkly with the photo-inactivity of the SO3 ligand in its companion [Os(NH3)5(SO3)]2+ cation within the crystallographic asymmetric unit of this single crystal. Panchromatic optical absorption characteristics of this single crystal are revealed in both dark and light-induced states, using concerted absorption spectroscopy and optical microscopy. Its optical absorption halves across most of its visible spectrum, upon exposure to 505nm light. The SO2 ligand seems to be responsible for this photo-induced bleaching effect, judging from a comparison of the dark and light-induced crystal structures of 1. The SO2 linkage photo-isomerism is found to be thermally reversible and so this complex presents a rare example of an osmium-based solid-state optical switch. Such switching in an osmium-based complex is significant be-cause bottom-row transition metals stand to offer linkage photo-isomerism with the greatest photo-conversion levels and thermal stability. Furthermore, the demonstration of n2-SO2 bondingmore » in this complex also represents a fundamental contribution to osmium coordination chemistry« less
