Ru experienced? Two novel coordinatively unsaturated SiO 2 ‐supported Ru complexes were prepared by photoinduced ligand elimination, accompanied by dissociative coordination of a surface OH group to the unsaturated Ru center by photoirradiation. Wavelength‐ and atmosphere‐dependent photoinduced reversible interconversion occurs between the two Ru complexes. One of the complexes is catalytically active for the photooxidation of cycloalkanes with O 2 .
