Popis: Selectivity of the intramolecular photodimerization of a bichromophoric molecule, 9-(hydroxymethyl)-10[(naphthylmethoxy)methyl]anthracene (HNMA), in the glassy state of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was examined upon irradiation with linearly polarized light. It was found that upon increasing dopant concentration, the maximum induction efficiency shifts toward the lower temperature side. The same bahavior was also observed as the elongational ratio of the PMMA increases. Uniaxial elongation also results in an increase of the induction efficiency. On the other hand, the induction efficiency grows exponentially with irradiation time
