Abstract
Diphenylamine adds to the ethylene bond of excited trans-di(alpha-naphthyl) ethylene (1). Dependence of the quantum yields of mono- and bi-molecular re actions of 1, cis-di(alpha-naphthyl)ethylene 2, and dihydropicene 3 on amin e concentration was studied. On this basis and theoretical analysis of the kinetic scheme a conclusion was drawn that amine interacts with excited 1 w ith a diffusion-limited rate but has no effect on the photochemical activit y of 2 and 3. The reaction mechanism was discussed.
