46_48/2007Cover Picture: Controlled Nanoscale Mechanical Phenomena Discovered with Ultrafast Electron Microscopy (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 48/2007)

Ultrafast electron microscopy ...... has been used to view the reversible expansion and contraction of a single crystal of [Cu(TCNQ)] (see film strip; TCNQ=7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane), induced with near-infrared laser pulses, as well as the photoinduced reduction of copper ions to form discrete metal clusters (see picture, top right), as described by A. H. Zewail et al. in their Communication on Page 9206 ff. The crystal expands along the π-stacking axis of the TCNQ molecules upon exposure to light, but rapidly returns to its original state in the absence of laser light.

The triradical 2,4,6-tridehydropyridinium has a doublet ground state and undergoes radical reactions at three positions, as described by H. I. Kenttämaa et al. in their Communication on Page 9198 ff. The reactivity more closely resembles related monoradicals than diradicals.
