New details of the dynamics and spectroscopy of trans-stilbene are revealed by picosecond excitation of jet-cooled and collision-free molecules. The fluorescence spectra clearly show the low-frequency torsional modes of the ground state. The time-resolved fluorescence following $1 excitation exhibit

We report time-resolved fluorescence decay lifetimes from photoselected states of jet-cooled 4-ethyl-trans-stilbene (4ETS) and 4-n-propyl-trans-stilbene (4PTS) in the energy range E, = O-2800 cm-' above the S, origin. Alkyl substitution enhances the non-radiative decay rates. These data can be fitte
The rate of y-ray-induced trans -cis isomerization of stilbene in dilute toluene solutions from -95o to A1OOo shows a maximum at about -25O. The results are interpreted in terms of interplay of opposing reactions. and of the role of triplet toluene.
