Photoinduced isomerizations are intensively studied reactions due to their importance in chemistry and biology. Systems containing conjugated double bonds (e.g. stilbene, hexatriene) are used as model systems for Rhodopsin or Carotinoids to investigate ultrafast photoreactions and to understand them in detail. A combination of a hemistilbene part with the half of a thioindigo-dye brings up a new class of photochromic compounds. It could be shown, that these HTI-molecules are suitable to act as ultrafast light trigger in chromopeptides[1]. In this context these photoinduced reactions have been studied with pump-probe spectroscopy in the visible. To obtain a clear insight in the photochemical pathway the transient absorption data is complemented with time-resolved fluorescence and IR measurements. By combination of these techniques the photochemical pathway of the ZE isomerization is revealed.
