Abstract
In acetonitrile solutions at room temperature, cis-[M(L-S,O)2] PtII and PdII complexes of N,N-diethyl-N′-3,4,5- trimethoxybenzoylthiourea undergo reversible photoinduced isomerisation to the corresponding trans isomer upon irradiation with visible light in the 320-570 nm range, the rate and extent of isomerisation being significantly higher for the cis-[Pd(L-S,O)2] complex compared to the PtII analogue; in the dark trans-[M(L-S,O)2] cleanly reverts back to the cis complex at a rate dependent on the solution temperature, indicating a thermally controlled reverse process. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
