The fluorescence behavior of both isomers in 2-methyltetrahydrofurane was determined as a function of concentration, temperature, and wavelength of exciting radiation. Furthermore, irradiation experiments were undertaken with light of various wavelengths. The results obtained are in agreement with the assumption that the WITTIG hydrocarbon behaves with regard to the cis-trans-isomerism like a 1,3-butadien derivative, i.e. a thermal but no photochemical cis-trans-isomerisation can be detected. The enthalpy difference between the two isomers was estimated to ΔΗ = 250 ± 50 cal/mole. It could be shown that the fluorescence of the cis-isomer is quenched by the trans-isomer. This quenching occurs probably according to the resonance energy transfer mechanism.
