The photoisomerization of the push-pull substituted azo dye Disperse Red 1 is studied using femtosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy and other spectroscopic and computational techniques. In comparison with azobenzene, the pi pi* state is more stabilized by the effects of push-pull substitution than the n pi* state, but the latter is probably still the lowest in energy. This conclusion is based on the kinetics, anisotropy of the excited state absorption spectrum, the spectra of the ground states, and quantum chemical calculations. The S-1(n pi*) state is formed from the initially excited pi pi* state in < 0.2 ps, and decays to the ground state with time constants of 0.9 ps in toluene, 0.5 ps in acetonitrile, and 1.4 ps in ethylene glycol. Thermal isomerization transforms the Z isomer produced to the more stable E isomer with time constants of 29 s (toluene), 28 ms (acetonitrile), and 2.7 ms (ethylene glycol). The pathway of photoisomerization is likely to be rotation about the N=N bond. Quantum chemical calculations indicate that along the inversion pathway ground and excited state energy surfaces remain well separated, whereas rotation leads to a region where conical intersections can occur. For the ground-state Z to E isomerization, conclusive evidence is lacking, but inversion is more probably the favored pathway in the push-pull substituted systems than in the parent azobenzene.
