Evidence that ‘nonvertical’ triplet energy transfer to flexible π-systems is a function of single-bond as opposed to double-bond torsion: comparison of 2,3-diphenylnorbornene and cis-stilbene

Abstract
2,3-Diphenylnorbornene and cis-stilbene exhibit essentially identical ‘nonvertical’ triplet excitation behaviour, in agreement with a mechanism requiring torsion about formal single bonds on the ground-state surface.
