PEG- b -PLA polymersomes are used as nanoreactors for the photodimerization of acenaphthylene (ACE), increasing reaction rate significantly. The reaction steered towards almost exclusive formation of anti product (94 : 6). This selectivity is remarkable, as other known systems commonly mediate formation of the syn product.
