%X An applied pressure of 2000 bars (1 bar = 105 Pa &#8801; 0.9869 atm) has been found to double the rate of photodimerization of methyl 3-methoxy-2- naphthoate in solution in toluene and in methanol at 20&#176;C. The acceleration corresponds to an average activation volume between 1 and 2000 bars of &#916;V&#8225;av &#8776; -10 cm3 mol-1, and is much less than the known acceleration, under similar conditions, of analogous thermal reactions.
