The concIusions of the preceding paper concerning the mechanism of interna dimerization of linked anthracenes are reviewed. The new data are found consistent with a previously proposed biradical mechanism.

✦ Synopsis
Receked 17 June 1980 hleasurements of quantum yields of fluorescence, photoreaction and internal deactivation as a function of temperature in a glass-forming solvent provide no support for a biradical intermediate in the reversible photochemistry of a,w_(bk+9anthryl)+alkanes. Photocycloaddition is therefore a concerted reaction. 1. introduction Kaupp [ I] pointed out the need for accurate measurements of quantum yields for the elucidation of photomechanism in reversible photochemical reac-tions_ From measurements with 2.2anthracenophane he concluded that a biradical mechanism was involved. Bergrnark et al. [2] studied bis(9-anthryl) methane and l&%(9-anthryl)ethane

Fluorescence and photocyclomerization quantum-yield measurements and a transient kinetic analysis were performed for a series of u,w-fbis-9-anthryl)-fi-~anes (4Ca-X to ACro-A and A-tiy-A) in methylcyclohesane and ethanol. Of note is an irregular periodicity of intramolecular escimer fluorescence yie
