22. (b) The overall quantum yields decreased until a minimum value was reached, at which point a further increase in chain length did not lead to a decrease in quantum yield. At this point, segmental motion presumably dominates molecular motion rather than center-of-mass diffusion, so an increase in chain length will have little effect on the efficiency of the reaction.

24. 2 photodissociation was smaller in solution than in the gas phase. It was proposed that the solvent temporarily encapsulates the reactive I• atoms in a "solvent cage", causing them to remain as colliding neighbors before they either recombine or diffuse apart. This concept is illustrated by the reaction in Scheme 2. The point to note is that the formation of free radicals is preceded by the formation of a caged radical pair.
