Abstract
The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the hyl-9,10,21,22-tetrahydro-7 H,12H,19H,24H-dinaphtho [1.8-f,g:1'.8'-o,p] tetraoxacyclooctadecin mol ecule is studied in terms of a dimer model which includes the intersta te mixing of the chromophore (naphthalene) electronic states. The expe rimental CD spectrum corresponding to the (1)L(a) state of naphthalene shows a strong solvent effect when going from isooctane solvent to ac etonitrile solvent. This effect is studied and explained as a result o f changes in the interstate mixing effect.
