A series of twelve 1',2'-dithiol-3',4-ylidene-2-cyano-2-butene nitriles has been prepared and its photochemistry studied.The stable Z-form is converted into the E-form on irradiation of ethanolic solutions.The photoproducts revert to starting material by a thermal process which obeys first-order kinetics.The influence of substitutents is studied.
