Photosalient effects. (a) Illustration of photosalient effect triggered by focused laser irradiation. (b) Photoinduced expansion of a crystal of complex 3 controlled by 405 nm laser irradiation (14 mW) at 30 °C. (c) Photoinduced scissoring motion of crystals of complex 3 controlled by 405 nm laser irradiation (16 mW) at 30 °C. (d) Hopping of a crystal of complex 3 triggered by 405 nm laser irradiation (25 mW) at 30 °C. (e) Flipping of crystals of complex 3 triggered by 405 nm laser irradiation (25 mW) at 30 °C. (f) Time dependence of lifting/crystal weight ratio of complexes 1–3 controlled by 405 nm laser irradiation (50 mW) at 30 °C. (g) Time dependence of lifting/crystal weight ratio of complexes 1 and 3 controlled by 405 nm laser irradiation (12 mW) at 85 °C. Illustration of the force detection is depicted. Scale bars represent 100 μm. See also the Supplementary Movie.
