Abstract
There is a large class of “flexible” molecules which, when excited, can isomerize from a planar to a twisted form. In this paper we present both steady state and time resolved data for two such molecules in a solid polymer. We present a model consistent with these data and demonstrate that the steady state results can be predicted from the time resolved data.
