Photoresponsive self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs): Photoexcitation of a CO‐bearing trinuclear ruthenium cluster assembled on an Au(111) electrode results in dissociation of CO to form a H 2 O‐terminated SAM (see picture). This is the first well‐defined example of clean conversion of a redox‐active molecular film by using light stimulus.
