Abstract
Certain classes of molecule isolated in cryogenic matrices undergo photo-orientation and/or geometrical photorearrangement via selective IR laser excitation of one of several fundamental vibrational modes.1 Studies of the polarized IR spectra of these matrix isolated species lead to detailed information regarding the structure and orientation of the initial and final products as well as possible reaction intermediates that may be formed during the course of the molecular rearrangement process.
