Saltiel Gupta 2018 Photochemistry of The Stilbenes in Methanol Trapping The Common Phantom Singlet State by Quantum Man is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the photochemistry of cis- and trans-stilbene in methanol, revealing that both isomers undergo similar photoaddition reactions yielding α-methoxybibenzyl while competing with cis-trans photoisomerization. The research identifies a common twisted singlet excited state intermediate, termed the phantom singlet state, which plays a crucial role in the addition process. Notably, the findings indicate that the excited state formed from cis-stilbene is hotter than that from trans-stilbene,
