Scheme 2.

Mechanisms of the photochemically driven ring shuttling in 16+. (a) Intramolecular mechanism. (b) Shuttling assisted by an electron relay. (c) Graphical representation of how the energy profile of shuttling changes upon reduction of Inline graphic and the location of the ring at Inline graphic (blue) or Inline graphic (magenta) for each molecular structure illustrated.
