Two-photon intramolecular C-C bond formation of 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)naphthalene and 1,8-bis(chloromethyl)naphthalene by high fluence excimer laser irradiations showed a considerable wavelength dependence on the conversion, the efficiency, and the yield of the product; the results are interpreted by the selective excitation of the substrates.
