Complex Energy Surface

Caption:

When light strikes an organometallic complex an electron can be excited into a higher energy state. In this particular complex a molecule of carbon monoxide leaves the organometallic complex because of this excitation.

This work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry.
