The photochemical cleavage of the endoperoxides of anthradichromene and benzodixanthene into the parent hydrocarbon and oxygen is shown to be an adiabatic photoreaction originating from an upper excited singlet state. This photochemical behaviour is described by a theory for the photochemistry of endoperoxides developed by Kearns and Khan.
