Photoisomerization pathways of <i>trans</i>-resveratrol
Mariana Yoshinaga, Josene M. Toldo, Willian R. Rocha, Mario Barbatti
Abstract
isomerization happens in the excited state and internal conversion occurs at a cyclic conical intersection, yielding a closed-ring resveratrol derivative. This derivative, which can be formed through this direct path or an indirect photoexcitation, may be connected to the production of oxygen-reactive species previously reported and have implications in photodynamic therapy.
