Abstract
The homopolymer of 2‐tert‐butyl‐6‐vinylnaphthalene (BVN) and its copolymers with styrene were prepared to examine the effects of the bulky tert‐butyl groups on singlet energy migration and excimer formation among the naphthalene chromophores. The intensity of naphthalene excimer emission relative to that of monomer emission was found to depend linearly on the concentration of the potential excimer forming site, i.e., the BVN dyad fraction of the polymer. The rate of fluorescence quenching by biacetyl, on the other hand, increased only slightly with the increase in the BVN content. These results are consistent with the slow energy hopping model and suggest that the neighboring naphthalene chromophores are virtually isolated from one another owing to the unfavorable interactions of the tert‐butyl groups.

Radical pairs are formed by photolysis of single crystals of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (ionol) (1) or 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (2 ), doped by several different molecules, and investigated by the EPR method. A possible two-hydrogen-atom transfer is discussed as the photochemical act.
Steady-state fluorescence has been used to study the dependence of the intramolecular formation of excimers in media of differing viscosity, 7, for model compounds of polyesters containing naphthalene groups. The model compounds are derived from 2-naphthalene carboxylic acid as rigid units and glyco
