Photochromic nanocomposite films of mononitrosyl complexes embedded in polymer matrices

New photochromic nanocomposite films based on mononitrosyl ruthenium complex [RuCl(NO)py4]2+[RuCl(NO)py4]2+ have been synthesized by dispersion in polymer matrices. Infrared study under irradiation reveals that the composites present very high population of metastable state (≈45%). Nanoparticles of molecular complex stabilized in different matrices have been observed by transmission electron microscopy.
