Caught in the light: The fulvalene diruthenium complex shown on the left side of the picture captures sun light, causing initial Ru-Ru bond rupture to furnish a long-lived triplet biradical of syn configuration. This species requires thermal activation to reach a crossing point (middle) into the singlet manifold on route to its thermal storage isomer on the right through the anti biradical.
如图左侧所示，富瓦烯二钌络合物捕获太阳光，导致初始 Ru-Ru 键断裂，生成顺式构型的长寿命三重态双自由基。该物种需要热激活才能到达中间的单重态交叉点，然后通过反双自由基途径到达其右侧的热储异构物。
