Freeze‐frame : Octahedral and square‐planar structural isomers, representing the two “end states” in a hemilabile ligand bond‐breaking isomerization reaction, have been characterized in solution by spectroscopic methods and in the solid state by X‐ray crystallography (see picture: Ni green, C gray, P orange, N blue, S yellow).
