The polarized excitation spectrum of the triplet-triplet absorption of some hydrocarbons has been measured by the method of photoselection. Advantages offered by the polarized excitation spectrum for further polarization work are briefiy discussed.

β¦ Synopsis
In this note we report the polarization of the well known triplet-trip@ absorption of anthracene in the 4500 -4100 A region and the assignment for the total space symmetry of the upper state. The short lifetime of the anthracene lowest triplet state makes this determination slightly more difficult than are polarization measurements on the longer lived (oriented) triplets.
The spectra were obtained using single crystals of benzophenone which had been doped with anthracene. This technique was used previously [I] to study the polarization of triplet-triplet bands, but in the earlier work only the rather ambiguous (110) face of benzophenone was employed (and the temperature was just 77OK). The crystals were grown from an ethanol solution and the faces were identified from their habit and by conoscopic techniques. The recent crystal structure determination of benzophenone [2] provides 'the required molecular orientations, and meas-
