Photoisomerisation quantum yield under direct irradiation (330 nm) and
fluorescence lifetime of diphenylbutadiene (DPB) increase as the conc
entration of the diene is increased. The results are discussed in term
s of quantum chain process, which is believed to occur due to exchange
of energy between the excited state s-trans-DPB and ground state s-ci
s-DPB.
