Photoisomerization involving changes in the arrangement of the atoms within the molecular species. It may lead to unstable isomers that react further by, e.g., dehydrogenation, deprotonation, or other reactions.
Note:
Examples are photorearrangements of alkenes (other than cis-trans photoisomerization), of cyclohex-2-enones, of endoperoxides, of thioarenes, the di-π-methane rearrangement and others.
