摘要
Although it appears to be a simple reaction, cisreversible arrowtrans isomerization of compounds such as stilbene (see graphic) is still not fully understood. This Article sheds some light on the problem by reporting calculations of singlet and triplet ground-and excited-state potential-energy curves which support the proposed triplet mechanism for the sensitized photoisomerization and the nonadiabatic singlet mechanism.
