Abstract

Based on ab initio STO-3G calculations with geometry optimization, a general conformational basis for the inversion mechanism of thermal E/Z isomerization of aromatic azo and azomethine compounds is provided. The structure of the E,Z isomers and the inversion transition states is determined. The influence of substituents on conformation and inversion is discussed.
