Photoisomerizations
(Femtochemistry - Femtobiology)

Trans-cis isomerizations in molecules containing double bonds are among the most fundamental reactions in organic chemistry. Thermal isomerisations usually involve large barriers and are slow. Dynamic aspects of the isomerization can thus not be addressed. Photoisomerizazions can proceed with characteristic times given by vibrational periods, i.e. occur on the femto- to picosecond time scale.
We are interested in the various factors influencing the isomerisation dynamics. In particular, we try to separate processes occuring on the excited state surface from the ground state processes. This we achieve by comparing femtosecond fluorescence and absorption signatures. Among the systems studied are azobenzenes, retinal proteins, and thioacetamides.
