	abstract = {Although the triplet excited state behavior of dimethyl 9-chloromethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethenoanthracene-11,12-dicarboxylate (5) is normal, di-pi-methane photorearrangement to a 4:1 mixture of regioisomers 6 and 7, its singlet excited state reactivity is unusual and involves the formation of the novel photoproducts 8 and 9. The mechanism by which these products are formed is thought to involve photorearrangement to the 1,4-biradical 10 followed by a non-concerted chlorine atom migration. Photoproducts 8 and 9 are more prevalent in solid state photolyses compared with those carried out in solution, a result that may be related to a favorable (4.28 angstrom) intermolecular C...Cl contact in crystals of 5.},
