The kinetics of the thermal cis-to-trans isomerization of N,N′-diacylindigos(DAI) in various solvents and under high pressures has been studied. N,N′-Dibenzoylindigos(DBI) isomerize about 10 times slower than molecules not having a benzene ring in the acyl groups. The values of the activation volumes were about 8.0 cm3 mol−1 for the former and about 3.0 cm3 mol−1 for the latter. It was suggested that the thermal isomerization proceeds via the biradical mechanism. The positive values of the activation volume have been interpreted in terms of the increase in the intrinsic volume upon activation. The differences in the isomerization rates and the activation parameters between DBI and the others have been ascribed to an additional interaction between the two phenyl rings in the acyl groups in the cis-ground state.

茚二酮(DBI)的异构化速度比酰基中没有苯环的分子慢 10 倍左右。前者的活化体积值约为 8.0 cm3 mol-1,后者约为 3.0 cm3 mol-1。研究表明,热异构化作用是通过双环化机理进行的。活化体积的正值被解释为活化时固有体积的增加。DBI 与其他化合物在异构化速率和活化参数上的差异被归因于顺地态酰基中的两个苯基环之间存在额外的相互作用。
