Rehybridization dynamics into the pericyclic minimum of an electrocyclic reaction imaged in real-time

Abstract Electrocyclic reactions are characterized by the concerted formation and cleavage of both σ and π bonds through a cyclic structure. This structure is known as a pericyclic transition state for thermal reactions and a pericyclic minimum in the excited state for photochemical reactions. Howev...
