Abstract
The photosensitized isomerization of 11-cis-retinal was investigated over a range of donors with varying triplet energy (ET). The photoisomerization yield (φisoT) for each retinal triplet produced by energy transfer was determined using continuous and pulsed-laser excitation methods. The marked dependence of φisoT on ET sets an upper limit of ∼0.1 to the isomerization yield in the thermally relaxed T1 state. The data are interpreted in terms of an efficient isomerization path involving higher vibronic triplet levels.
