Isomerism is a common phenomenon in chemistry in which certain molecules have two or more distinct configurations of their constituent atoms that are consistent with their chemical formula. The absorption of an ultraviolet (UV) photon, which allows for functioning inside the excited states of the isomers, is a viable technique to induce an interaction between isomers.
