N2 - The structure of the light-induced metastable state SII of Na 2[Fe(CN)5NO]·2H2O was investigated by transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS) in the temperature range between 85 and 135 K, nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) at 98 K using synchrotron radiation and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The DFT and TMS results strongly support the view that the NO group in SII takes a side-on molecular orientation and, further, is dynamically displaced from one eclipsed, via a staggered, to a second eclipsed orientation. The population conditions for generating SII are optimal for measurements by TMS, yet they are modest for accumulating NIS spectra. Optimization of population conditions for NIS measurements is discussed and new NIS experiments on SII are proposed.
