Abstract
This article reviews the present status of the application of transient or time-resolved Raman spectroscopy to the mechanistic studies of the cis—trans photoisomerization in conjugated molecules. Attention is focused on the vibrational information about the molecular structure of the electronically excited intermediates which are involved in the process of photoisomerization. Two examples, the trans to cis photoisomerization of stilbene through the lower excited singlet state and the cist to trans isomerization of retinal through the lowest excited triplet state, are included.
