Optical manipulation of animal behavior using a ruthenium-based phototrigger

A visible-light activatable caged compound based on a ruthenium-polypyridine complex was used to elicit the feeding response of the freshwater cnidarian Hydra vulgaris. The phototrigger delivers l-arginine in a clean reaction under irradiation with blue or green light. The synthesis, characterizatio...
