Abstract
‐Violet and ultravioet radiation are equally efficient in phot‐dimerizing aplhanathoquinone in benzene. The reactants yielding the dimeric photo‐product are moelcules in the ground state and excited ones. The photo‐reduction in 2‐propanol occurs with the same effciency for excitation in the n→* and →π* absorption bands. It is concluded that either reaction occurs via an n,π* excited state molecule, by direct excitation or after 100 per cent effucient internal conversion from the π,π* to the n,π* state.Keywords
