Abstract
A method for the determination of the quantum yield in the formation of the unstable photoinduced form of 2, 3-epoxy-2, 3-diphenylindanone based on the reaction with tetracyanoethylene is proposed. The products of 1,3-dipolar addition of tetracyanoethylene to the photoinduced forms of the investigated compounds were isolated and characterized.
