Abstract

A ruthenium complex showing multi-stimuli-responsive isomerization was synthesized. The catalytic activity of this complex toward water oxidation showed responses to visible-light irradiation and heat due to photoisomerization and thermal back-isomerization, respectively. DFT calculations suggested that a pendant moiety in the complex was key to controlling the catalytic activity.
