Abstract

In the thermal [4+ 4] cycloreversions of 9-anthracenecarboxylic acid-benzene 3a, methyl 9- anthracenecarboxylate-benzene 3b, dimethyl (or diethyl) 9, 10-anthracenedicarboxylate- benzene 3c (or 3d) and anthracene-1, 4-difluoro (or dichloro) benzene 3f (or 3g) biplanemers, chemiluminescene was observed for 3a—d only in the solid state at> 120° C but not in a liquid phase, while 3f and 3g were not chemiluminescent.
