Abstract

Low-temperature UV irradiation of the N-heterocyclic carbene complex Ru(IEt₂Me₂)(PPh₃)₂(CO)H₂ (IEt₂Me₂ = 1,3-bis(ethyl)-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) leads to a remarkable photoisomerization reaction. By combining in situ photolysis and parahydrogen experiments to characterize the ultimate photoproducts and DFT calculations to interrogate the structures of the key 16-electron intermediates, the importance of both PPh₃ and H₂ loss pathways has been established.
