31. We have recently reported the quenching of the excited state of anthracene within a tetrathiafulvalene-anthracene dyad. This excited state can be "activated" by oxidation or assembly on the surfaces of gold nanoparlicles, which leads to fluorescence enhancement and facilitalion of the photodimerization process: a) G.

43. It was reported that the optically active 2.2′-substituted binaphthalene enantiomer was very stable and could not be racemized at high temperatures (> 150°C). see: a) D. M. Hall, E. E. Turner, J. Chem. Soc. 1955, 1242-1251;

46. The detected fluorescence of (S)-1 and (S)-2 should be due to the anthracene units because the excitation wavelength is 370 nm, at which binaphthalene does not absorb. The corresponding fluorescence quantum yields were estimated by reference to 9,10-diphenyl-anthracene.
47. cx=370nm), two excited species may be formed, in which the two anthracene units may exhibit different orientations in relation to the naphthalene and 1,3-dithole-2-thione units: 2) it is probable that in one excited species the anthracene units are close to 1,3-dilhole-2-thione units (and naphthalene units) and as a result, the fluorescence from this excited species would be largely quenched, which would lead to a rather short fluorescence lifetime; whereas in another excited species the anthracene units are well separated from 1,3-dithole-2-thione units (and naphthalene units), and accordingly the fluorescence from this excited species would not be quenched to a large extent. In fact, biexponential fluorescence decay was reported previously for the TTF-naphthalenediimide-TTF triad (see X. Guo, Z. Gan, H. Luo, Y. Araki, D. Zhang, D. Zhu, O. Ito, J. Phys. Chem. A 2003, 107, 9747-9753). The solute-solvent interaction might also cause a biexponential fluorescence decay
