Conformation effects in the spectroscopy and photochemistry of 1,2-di(9-anthryl)ethane. A model for the anthracene “excimer”

Single crystals of the photocycloadduct of 1,2-di(9-anthryl)ethane have been prepared and used as host matrices for the spectroscopic study of the photocleaved sandwich dimer. Similar studies were also carried out in a variety of rigid glasses which were then allowed to soften under controlled condi...

Summary:Single crystals of the photocycloadduct of 1,2-di(9-anthryl)ethane have been prepared and used as host matrices for the spectroscopic study of the photocleaved sandwich dimer. Similar studies were also carried out in a variety of rigid glasses which were then allowed to soften under controlled conditions. The various spectroscopic and photochemical properties have been interpreted in terms of different conformations of the anthracene moieties.
