Summary Infrared and ultraviolet studies have shown that the three geometrically isomeric types of conjugated linoleates ( cis, cis; cis, trans ; and trans, trans ) are readily equilibrated by dilute iodine and light. Infrared shows that the equilibrium is at 32% cis, trans and 64% trans, trans isomer. Probably no more than 5–10%, if any, cis, cis isomer exists at equilibrium. The equilibrated mixture can be used to determine total conjugation in mixtures of conjugated geometric isomers by either infrared or ultraviolet absorption.
