摘要: Abstract A realistic dynamics simulation study is reported for the trans–cis photoisomerization of azobenzene triggered by n  → π * excitation and results show that formation cis isomer follows rotational motion around N bond. The find CNN bond angle bending vibrations also play a significant role in vibronic coupling between HOMO LUMO, which essentially leads nonadiabatic transition molecule to electronic ground state.
