Abstract
The 9,10-dicyanoanthracene-sensitized photo-oxygenation of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene is shown to depend on solvent polarity. Radical ion pair and singlet exciplex are suggested to be intermediates in this photochemical reaction. Mechanisms consistent with the effects of solvent polarity are proposed.Keywords
