Photoisomerisation of ion pairs of diphenylallyl carbanions

Abstract
The normal trans,trans conformation of the ion pairs of the 1,3-diphenylallyl and 1,3-diphenylbutenyl carbanions is converted into cis,trans by photolysis with white light. The kinetics of the reverse dark reaction have been studied; the rate of this process is much greater for the tight than for the loose ion pair.
