Abstract

Abstract Cis-trans photoisomerization of azobenzenes in higher concentrations proceeds through a bimolecular reaction process, probably involving the dimer biradical intermediates, in competition with a unimolecular isomerization process, which is the predominant reaction in lower concentrations.
