✦ Synopsis


The fluorescence spectra and photocycloadditions of poly(ethylene glycol) labeled at the chain termini with one 9-anthryl and one 1-naphthoyl group (N-P n -A) both in non-polar and polar solvents in the presence of alkali-metal cations have been investigated. Lipophobic interactions in non-polar solvents and complexation of the polyether with cations in polar solvents force the two terminal groups of N-P n -A into proximity, and irradiation of the solutions produces intramolecular photocyclomers to the exclusion of intermolecular products.
