Abstract
Rates of isomerization of electronically excited trans-stilbene and of the dissociation of isoquinoline-solvent complexes in jet beams are compared with those expected from RRKM theory as a function of energy; the comparison is made at low vibrational energies (~1200-3000 cm^(-1)). The jet result for the threshold energy of the isomerization is compared with the activation energy for the reaction in solution. The two values are in good agreement.
