Wavelength-Dependent Photochemistry of 2-Formyl Thiazole in Solid Argon: High-Energy Conformational Trapping vs Ring-Opening Channels
We report the photochemistry of 2-formyl thiazole 2FT in inert gas matrices at 4 K, complemented by computations. The present study aims to unravel the dominant photochemical channel among ring-opening of thiazole and light-induced conformational changes (LICC) associated with the formyl group. 2FT underwent LICC fro...
