“…Dokić ), resulting in a significantly shorter half-life of the cis isomer of only about 1 s at 25 8C. [17,18] Later, different experimental methods, such as flash photolysis, [18][19][20] NMR spectroscopy, [21,22] UV/Vis spectroscopy [23] and IR spectroscopy, [24] were applied for further studies of this isomerisation process, including substituent [18-21, 23, 25] and solvent effects. [19,20,25] Moreover, for deeper analysis, semi-empirical [complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO)] molecular orbital, [13,15] ab initio, [20] and density functional calculations [25,26] were performed.…”
