Direct photolysis of the penta-1,3-dienes: recognition of wavelength-dependent behaviour in solution

Abstract
The quantum yields for geometrical isomerisation and 1,4-cyclomerisation of cis- and trans-penta-1,3-dienes differ for excitation at 228·8 and 253·7 nm; this is explained by a change in the vibrational modes through which the molecules relax on the S1 hypersurface.
