Photoisomerization Studies of Substituted Stilbenes: 4,4’-Dihydroxystilbene and 4,4’-Dimethoxystilbene

D. M. Zeglinski, David H. Waldeck

Abstract

Recent studies of photoisomerization in liquid solution have revealed significant modification of isomerization rates by frictional and dielectric solute-solvent interactions. Reported here are initial studies of the isomerization dynamics of 4,4’-dihydroxystilbene and 4,4’-dimethoxystilbene in the normal alcohols. Comparisons are drawn between this work and previous studies of the unsubstituted stilbene [1].
