- 摘要:
- A bridged azobenzene was recently found by Siewertsen et al. to exhibit highly efficient photoisomerization through np⁄ absorption. In the work of the present Letter, cis-to-trans photoisomerization of this molecule in the gas phase was examined in detail via density-functional-based dynamical simulations.
Our results indicate that rotation around the central NN bond is the dominant mechanism when this reaction proceeds via np⁄ excitation, and the bridging feature was found not to hinder the rotation. Nonadiabatic de-excitation occurred at an avoided crossing between the ground state and lowest singlet excited state near the midpoint of the rotational pathway.
