Remote substituent effects on the photooxygenation of 9,10-diarylanthracenes: strong evidence for polar intermediates.
Two different reaction pathways in the photooxygenation of 9,10-diarylanthracenes are identified, with strong evidence for polar (forward, singlet oxygen addition) and radical (backward, thermolysis) intermediates.
