## Abstract The rates of cyclization of two terminally repetitious phage DNA molecules, T7 and T1, were determined and compared with earlier studies of λ DNA. Though differing over 200‐fold in the number of complementary nucleotides in the single‐chain terminals, these three DNA's cyclize at about

✦ Synopsis
All eight 7,7 -(4-methylcoumarinyl) polymethylene dicarboxylates ( 3, 4) containing terminal photoreactive coumarin chromophores show strong fluorescence intensities at room temperature in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and CH 2 Cl 2 . After irradiation with 350 nm light for 2 h, the fluorescence characteristics of the dicarboxylates reveal their photopolymerization paths. On irradiation of the unsubstituted dicarboxylates (3) in DMSO, singlet excited state excimers are formed, leading to syn head-tohead coumarin dimer configuration. However, for all dicarboxylates in CH 2 Cl 2 , the dimerization of the coumarin chromophore proceeds via a triplet excited state in the presence of benzophenone to form the anti-configuration photoproducts. Further confirmations of the reaction mechanism are made by kinetic studies. At high concentration, photopolymerization of 7,7 -(4-methylcoumarinyl) polymethylene dicarboxylate (4c) obeys zero-order and first-order kinetics for coumarin chromophore and benzophenone, respectively. This is a powerful proof of the proposed mechanism of a triplet excited state reaction.
