Exploration of potential energy surfaces and non-adiabatic dynamics confirm a higher intersystem crossing rate for 5-formyluracil, whereas the kinetic models evidence different equilibria in the excited states for both compounds.Reconocimiento (by)QUIMICA ORGANICAArtículo10.1039/d0cc01132kAbierto32239074
