摘要：

The DFT-B3LYP/cc-pVDZ method was employed to study the molecular structures of azobenzene and stilbene and their trans/cis isomers. Trans molecules were found to be lower in energy than cis isomers. Internal rotation of a phenyl ring around the N-C or C-C bond of the trans-azobenzene and trans-stilbene was given. Torsional potential of the phenyl ring of each molecule was drawn, giving a V-2 barrier. The barrier height of each molecule was calculated. The absorption spectrum of each studied molecule was obtained through analyses of 10 excited states by the ZINDO/S//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ, TD//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ, and CIS//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ methods. The absorption maximum of each molecule can be found and the electron transitions of the trans molecules are pi-pi* transition, whereas the cis molecules are n-pi* transition.
