## Abstract The mechanism of the photolysis of [2.2]paracyclophaneβ1,10βdione (9) was investigated in solution and in argon matrices. The first step of the photolysis involves Ξ±βcleavage of the cyclophane yielding a diradical 11 which could be trapped by ethanol. In argon at 10 K the diradical rapi
