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.
