2. Raman and XPS spectroscopic analysis also established the existence of sp-hybridised intermediate. The N=N stretch vibrational mode in the Raman spectra at 1442cm-1 in trans-azo upshifted to 1453 cm-1 in the cocrystal.

Similarly, the N1s binding energy value in the cocrystal was observed at higher energy (402.76 eV) compared to trans-azo (401.61 eV) in the XPS spectra.

Azobenzene follows rotation and inversion pathways during photoisomerization. Inversion mechanism requires one of the nitrogen atoms to transition via sp hybridized state. N=N bond distance of skewed azo in OBPDI-AZO1 was lower than trans-azo indicating a transition to sp state.

Twisted azo structure provided insights into the favorable pathway the molecule adopts by contracting energy from an external source to undergo isomerization thereby emerging as an effort to shed light into the age-old debate regarding the mechanism behind trans-cis cycle of azo
