Abstract :
Deep ultraviolet femtosecond transient absorption measurements of the photoisomerization reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene to form cis-1,3,5-hexatriene demonstrate that the rate of the photochemical ring-opening reaction is ⩾ 1 ps−1. The subsequent kinetics observed in picosecond resonance Raman and transient absorption measurements represents the time scales for vibrational and conformational relaxation of the photoproduct.
