title: Stereo-differentiation in the excited state behaviour of naphthalene-thymine dyads.
abstract: Using two diastereomeric dyads containing naphthalene and thymine units, significant chiral discrimination has been found in the photophysical processes involving the naphthalene excited states: singlet deactivation by hydrogen bonding molecules, singlet-singlet energy transfer from thymine and triplet decay.
