- 08:52Conclusion
Photoisomerization quantum yield is a fundamental photophysical property that should be accurately determined in the investigation of newly developed photoswitches. Here, we describe a set of procedures to measure the photoisomerization quantum yield of a photochromic hydrazone as a model bistable photoswitch.
