Single-crystal nanooptomechanical transduction occurs in [Ru(SO)(NH)(HO)]chlorobenzenesulfonate, reaching maximal levels within 40 s at 100 K when photostimulated by 505 nm light. Its in situ light-induced crystal structure reveals the molecular origins of this optical actuation: 26.0(3)% of the η-SO ligand photoconverts into an η-OSO photoisomer which, in turn, induces a 49.6(9)° arene ring rotation in its neighbouring counter ion.
