Abstract

Communications 161 one of the most exploited methods for the synthesis of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of the phene series. This reaction is very selective and the sum of the free valence numbers of the involved atoms r and s in the excited state molecule, Zl=';*; _, has been found to be a very reliable parameter for pre-dicting the cyclization mode '.
