โฆ Synopsis
The SO potential of stilbcne has minima in the trarls (t) and cis (c) confiiuntions and a maximum in the pfrp @) configuration. The St potential has minima at t, p and c due to crossing of the *B, snd t As potentials. and it is proposed that the Tt potential has similar minima due to crossing of the 3B, and "Ag potentials. Five alternative isomerization mecba~sms are considered, tke yields of which depend on eompetirion between vertical radiative and radiationless transitions to lo~r states, and horizontal radiationless transitions betwe% the t, p and c confiiurations of St and Tr .

Stilbene photoisomerizabon is a useful model system for the investigation of condensed phase reaction dynamics. This manuscript presents data on the photoisomerization of meta-methyl-substituted stilbenes in decane as a function of temperature. These kinetic data indicate that the torsional motion a
## Abstract Using our recently proposed quantum chemical model to simulate the effect of external forces acting on a molecule (Wolinski and Baker, Mol Phys 2009, 107, 2403), which we subsequently termed enforced geometry optimization (EGO), we investigate structural isomerism in C~14~H~12~, startin
