Final Compounds 1, 2, 3 and C1 are characterised using all of the methods listed above. 
Intermediate compounds that have not been previously reported in literature (Compounds 6 and 7) are characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.
UV-treated 1-bromonapthalene was studied using UVVis absorption.
Reaction of UV-treated 1-bromonaphthalene with triethylamine to form triethylamine hydrobromide was characterised using 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectrometry.
