On the Mechanism of the cis−trans Isomerization in the Lowest Electronic States of Azobenzene: S0, S1, and T1
TL;DR: The results indicate that the S(1) state decay involves mainly the torsion route and that the inversion mechanism may play a role only if the molecule is excited with an excess energy of at least 25 kcal/mol with respect to the S (1) minimum of the E isomer.
