Topic: healing the quantum way

The one-bond-flip isomerizes at the reactive double bond while the hula twist undergoes a conformational isomerization at the adjoining single bond. Nevertheless, the interconversion of stereoisomers of stilbene proceeds through one-bond-flip. One of an important properties of a photoswitch is its quantum yield which measures the effectiveness of absorbed light to induce photoisomerization. Quantum yield is modeled and calculated using Arrhenius kinetics. Photoswitches may be in resolution or wi...
