Irradiation of a 5,6-dihydropyridazine in either the n → π* or π → π* absorption bands results in ring-opening to the two isomeric diazatrienes expected of a concerted, electrocyclic process. Population of the triplet state of the dihydropyridazine by sensitization also results in ring-opening, but much less efficiently. The quantum yields of the two processes were found to be 0.40 ± 0.04 and 0.07 ± 0.01, respectively. The primary photoproducts, cis,cis- and cis,trans-4,5-diazatriene, isomerize thermally at temperatures greater than 20° to the trans,cis and trans,trans isomers.
