β¦ Synopsis
Rates of 9,lOdimethylanthracene (DMA) formation have been determined for Nz-purged solutions of 9,10-peroxy-9,lOdimethylanthracene (DMAPO) and benzene (B) in dichloromethane at 254 nm as a function of concentration of DMAPO and of B. The rate equation is integrated to accommodate time-dependent absorption of the actinic radiation by DMA, necessary even for cycloreversions of 1%. The data are quantitatively consistent with triplet benzene sensitized adiabatic cycloreversion from the endoperoxide triplet (T,) state with an estimated efficiency of 0.16 i: 0.06.

Fluorescence and excitation spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA) were measured in the solvents n-pentane, toluene, cyclohexane, decalin, diisoproylnaphthaline (DIPN), liquid paraffin, and aqueous cetytrimethylammonium chloride (CI'AC). Different viscosities had little
