Graphical Abstract

Einbahnreaktion: Die ZE-Photoisomerisierung von Stilben durch sichtbares Licht geschieht in einem porösen Koordinationsnetzwerk (siehe Bild). Die Reaktion verläuft in einer Pore über die Photoanregung des Ladungstransfer-Komplexes zwischen einem elektronenarmen Liganden und dem Stilben. Das in situ gebildete E-Isomer wird schnell gegen nicht umgesetztes Z-Isomer aus der Lösung ausgetauscht, daher genügt eine katalytische Menge des Netzwerkes, um die Reaktion voranzutreiben.
