Photocrystallographic and spectroscopic studies of a model (N,N,O)-donor square-planar nickel(II) nitro complex: in search of high-conversion and stable photoswitchable materials

A new, cheap, easy-to-synthesize and air-stable photoswitchable nickel(II) complex, QTNiNO2, is reported. The metal centre in QTNiNO2 is coordinated by a nitro group and a [2-methyl-8-aminoquinoline]-1-tetralone ligand. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a with one complex m...
