A light‐dark‐light‐dark sequence was used to demonstrate that only NO is released from a new mesoporous material that contains immobilized Ru(NO) sites. No release is observed during the dark phases (shown schematically). Since this release is regulated by light, the controlled transfer of NO to cobalt( II ) tetraphenylphorphyrin as well as equine skeletal muscle myoglobin is possible.
