Light‐Induced On/Off Switching of the Surfactant Character of the o ‐Cobaltabis(dicarbollide) Anion with No Covalent Bond Alteration
Cobaltabis(dicarbollide) anion ([o-COSAN]- ) is a well-known metallacarborane with multiple applications in a variety of fields. In aqueous solution, the cisoid rotamer is the most stable disposition in the ground state. The present work provides theoretical evidence on the possibility to photoinduce the rotation from the cisoid to the transoid rotamer, a conversion that can be reverted when the ground state is repopulated. The non-radiative decay mechanisms proposed in this work are coherent with the lack of fluorescence observed in 3D fluorescence mapping experiments performed on [o-COSAN]- and its derivatives. This phenomenon induced by light has the potential to destruct the vesicles an…
