The photochemical properties of the tetraazacyclododecine 1 were investigated.The trans,trans isomer 1tt can be photoisomerized yielding the stable cis,cis isomer 1cc.The isomerization requires two photons and proceeds via the unstable trans,cis isomer 1tc.In nitrogen-purged 2-propanol as solvent 1 yields five stable photoproducts as a result of a number of consecutive photoreduction reactions.Our attempts to convert 1 by light into the tetraazetidine 4 were not successful. Key Words: cis-Azo compounds / Photoreduction / Tetrabenzotetraazacyclododecine
