Time-delayed, Two-color Excimer Laser Photolysis of 1,8-Bis(halomethyl)naphthalenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1995.945

Time-delayed two-color photolysis of 1,8-bis(bromomethyl)-naphthalene and 1,8-bis(chloromethyl)naphthalene was conducted by successive irradiation of XeCl (308 nm) and XeF (351 nm) excimer lasers.Increase in the yield of the two-photon product, acenaphthene, strongly depended on the delay time of the two lasers and showed two maxima at the delay times of 0-30 ns and 0.2-0.5 μs.
