Abstract
Flash-photolytic experiments showed that the photocyclisation of 1,2-di(2-naphthyl)ethylene, (Ia), results in the formation of two isomeric 4a,4b-dihydro-phenanthrenes derived from two of the possible three conformers of (Ia), and differing in thermal stability by a factor of 1010.Keywords
