The first part of this paper describes the experimental search for a donor which would complex preferentially one of the isomers of 1,2-dicyanoethylene. This involved measuring the association constants (KcDA) of the charge-transfer (ct) complexes of several dimethoxynaphthalenes (DMN) with maleonitrile (MN) and fumaronitrile (FN). From the measured KcDA, we found that MN complexes more strongly than FN with 1,4- and 1,5-DMN but that FN complexes more strongly with 2,3-DMN than does MN. These results are explained in terms of more than one favourable geometry for the ct complexes, since the donors are relatively large compared to the acceptors.Irradiation of the ct complexes between 1,4-, 1,5-, or 2,3-DMN and 1,2-dicyanoethylene led to isomerization of the olefins. The photostationary state depends on the absorption spectra of the ct complexes formed between the donor and the isomeric olefins. From spectroscopic and photo-CIDNP studies, we find evidence that the isomerization in polar solvents takes place via the triplet state of the olefin. The triplet is formed from the radical ion pair resulting after excitation of the ct complex.

A study of the hydrolysis of the halopentamminechromium(III) ions in the presence of the sodium salts of weak acids reveals a rate acceleration due to specific ion-pair formation. The acceleration is due partly to a charge-transfer effect and partly to the fact that the ion helps to maintain the octahedral configuration of the complex in the transition state. It is concluded that the reaction occurs by dissociation, but without collapse of the structure to a five-co-ordinated intermediate.
