Upon UV irradiation in the solid-state 4.4'-dimethylbenzophenone (la) underwent intermolecular hydrogen abstraction, followed by radical &pling, to give solely a dimeric product, 4-(2-hydroxy-2,2-di-p-tolyleth 1)-4'-methylbenzophenone (2). By contrast, 3.3'-dimethylbenzophenone (lb!. 3.4'-dimethylbenzophenon; (lc) and 4-methylbenzophenone (ll) were photostable under the same condit&.

Abstractร1H-2-Benzothiopyran-1-ones (isothiocoumarins) and 1H-2-benzopyran-1-ones (isocoumarins) behave dissimilarly on solid state irradiation at room temperature as the former photocyclodimerize efยฎciently while the latter only undergo slow photodecomposition. Both 4H-naphtho[2,1-c]pyran-4-one and
Change in the intensity of the irradiation laser pulse did not influence the non-exponential decay profile of benzophenone phosphorescence in poly(methyl methacrylate) at 20 ' ~. This result is incompatible with the biphotonic triplet-triplet annihilation process, but supports the diffusion-controll
