Photoprocesses in 1,4-diazadistyrylbenzene (1) and 1,3-diazadistyrylbenzene derivative (2) diperchlorates in MeCN were studied by absorption, luminescence, and kinetic laser spectroscopies. For compound 1, trans-cis-photoisomerization and intersystem crossing to a triplet state are observed. For compound 2, photoelectrocyclization is suggested. Quantum chemical calculations of diazadistyrylbenzene structures in the ground and excited states were carried out. The schemes for photoreactions were proposed.
