The quantum effciency for the photodimerization of rruns-cinnamic acid in the solid state is independent of intensity and is found to have a value approaching two. Thus, the reaction involves one excited and one un-excited molecule.During the exposure, a dimer film developing on the surface of the cinnamic acid Jayer
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
