[...] The original Kiel University news release in German includes a very clear diagram of the molecular structural change caused by the two wavelengths of light—primarily a cis-trans isomerization of an azo compound (two nitrogen atoms joined by a double bond), which raises or lowers a pyridine group attached to the azo group to position the pyridine nitrogen atom with respect to the nickel ion. This is the same cis-trans isomerization that powered a different type of molecular machine reported here in 2006 “First molecular machine combination made in Japan“. [...]
