Abstract

UV irradiation of solutions of the (E)‐isomers of five (out of the possible six) monopyridyl analogues at reduced temperatures results in extensive (80–90%) conversion into the corresponding (Z)‐isomers. The process is reversible both thermally and photochemically. The (Z)‐isomers are stable at temperatures below −80°, and their absorption spectra were estimated. Biacetyl‐photosensitized (E)(Z) isomerization was observed, with (Z)‐contents of ca. 70% at the photo‐stationary state.
