62. As can be seen from inspection of the data recorded in Table 2, the trans →cis photoisomerization quantum yield of 29 upon irradiation at 436 nm is considerably smaller than that of the other compounds. We have checked this value several times and we have no straightforward explanation for such strange behavior.
