27. N- [4- (Dimethylamino)benzylidene]- 4- (dimethylamino)-aniline was also examined at 15 and 25 °C. However, little pressure-induced retardation that cannot be rationalized by TST was observed. At lower temperatures, the reaction was too slow to obtain accurate thermal reaction rates because of the photo-induced isomerization by the monitoring light.

31. Judging from the previous and the present results, the ground-state isomerization of DODCI might be in the TST-valid region under the conditions studied. In order to examine this possibility, the present authors are planning to study pressure effects on the ground state isomerization of DODCI and related compounds in MPD. The results will be presented and discussed when the measurements are completed.
