The pyrolyisis of di-tert-butyl peroxyoxalate in the presence of para-substituted benzaldehydes produces almost quantitatively the corresponding p,p'-disubstituted benzils. The formation of these products is accompanied by chemiluminescence arising from excited triplets. From the quantum yield of excited triplet generation and
