30. Quenching and sensitization experiments, coupled to the investigation of the photoinduced reisomerization of the colored isomers, demonstrate the fundamental role of T1 in the photoisomerization of nitrospiropyrans [5,13]. Earlier reports, however, suggest alternative mechanisms for these photoinduced transformations. See Refs. [14-17] and:
