%X The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the title compounds are reported and a simple coupled chromophore model has been used to make assignments of the absorption bands. The absorption spectra show a strong interaction between the 1Lb state of the anthracene chromophore and the 1Lb state of the benzene chromophore in both anthracenoparacyclophanes which is absent in [2.2](9,10) anthracenometacyclophane. The fluorescence comes from the 1La state of the anthracene chromophore.
