The crystal structures of [(PhCH2)(2)NH2](+)[m-C6H4(N-3)-(COO)](-) before and after UV-irradiation were analyzed at 25 K by using an X-ray vacuum camera set up at the synchrotron laboratory (SPring-8). The C-N (nitrene) bond distance in the triplet state of the photo-induced m-carboxyphenylnitrene is determined to be 1.34(4) Angstrom.
