Breakdown of Kramers theory description of photochemical isomerization and the possible involvement of frequency dependent friction
Abstract
We present new data on the ground state isomerization rate of DODCI and compare our results to previously obtained excited state data. We find that the one-dimensional Kramers expression does not fit the data over the whole viscosity range when the friction is measured by either the overall rotation time or the solvent viscosity. The deviation is qualitatively similar to that previously observed in diphenyl butadiene when the viscosity was used as the friction measure. Deviations from the simple hydrodynamic theory appear to depend on the reduced frequency for isomerization. We show how our results are consistent with the one-dimensional Kramers theory when a frequency dependent friction is used to describe the influence of the solvent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
