Photoisomeric transformations in ruthenium polypyridyl complexes have been rarely reported. Herein we report the geometrical transformation of cyclometalated trans-[Ru(tpy)(PAD)(OH(2))](+) ([1](+)) to cis-[Ru(tpy)(PAD)(OH(2))](+) ([1a](+)) (tpy = 2,2';6',2"-terpyridine, PAD 2-(pyrid-2'-yl)acridine) isomer upon irradiation visible light (λ ≥420 nm). Due a proton-induced tautomeric equilibrium between Ru-C bond and Ru═C coordination, π* energy levels PADH are lower than those tpy by 12.61...
