heal.abstract	The conversion of norbornadiene to quadricyclane by polychromatic radiation in a solar simulator was investigated. Parameters examined were photosensitizers, reactant and sensitizer concentrations,insolation power, and temperature. The rate of conversion and the efficiency of solar energy storage were measured and have been quantitatively correlated. The most efficient sensitizers were Michler's ketone, acetophenone, and benzophenone in that order. A mixture of the sensitizers performed worse than the less efficient sensitizer, perhaps due to a mechanism of intersensitizer energy transfer. Data have been obtained by exposing the system to the actual sunlight, and repeated cycles of photochemical conversion and thermal reversion of the reaction were made. The kinetics of the thermal reverse reaction were investigated and presented. This information is considered to be useful in the development of a photochemical solar energy storage system. © 1984 American Chemical Society.	en
