Abstract
Abstract Intramolecular excimer formation processes were explained by the conformational energy calculated by an empirical method. Observed rate constants of excimer formation processes are closely correlated to the fraction of tg conformation. This indicates that intramolecular excimers are mainly formed by the internal rotation, trans→gauche, with reference to the naphthalene unit. The fraction of the tg conformation, which is an adjacent conformation to the excimer conformation on the conformational energy map, serves as an effective concentration of the intramolecular reaction. The small formation rate for rac-2,4-di(2-naphthyl)pentane is due to the unfavorable rotational mode (g+\ightleftarrowsg−) required to take the excimer conformation.
