Photochemical isomerization unified description

Recently, we reported our first attempts to reach a unified description of the photochemical isomerization of pentaatomic heterocyclic compounds [99H(50)1115 99MI233]. If the first excited state of a molecule is populated, this molecule can... 

Professor D Auria (Basilicata University) summarizes the photochemical isomerization of pentaatomic heterocycles, providing a unified description in terms of the five conceivable mechanisms. R. Alan Aitken and Andrew W. Thomas of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, summarize the substantial recent progress in heterocyclic acyl and formyl anion equivalents.
