Proton-transfer-induced Photocleavage Reaction of Caged Compounds: Novel Insight into the Potential Energy Surfaces of Proton-assisted Photocleavage Reaction
The potential energy surfaces of a photocleavage reaction are proposed and the solvent effects are discussed in terms of the change of the energy barrier between reverse proton transfer and the photocleavage reaction.
