title: Photocrystallography reveals new metastable nitrosyl linkage isomers in the solid state.
abstract: Using the combined techniques of photocrystallography and infrared spectroscopy is a very powerful method for generating and establishing the structures of metastable linkage isomers in the solid state as exemplified by the work of Casaretto et al. [IUCrJ (2015), 2, 35-44] on [RuCl(NO)2(PPh3)2]BF4.
