Stereospecific and quantitative photodimerisation of terminal olefins in the solid state

Abstract

Reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with AgClO3 yields a crystalline solid that supports a stereospecific and quantitative [2+2] photodimerisation of two terminal olefins. Structural dynamics of the −CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 group, nature of the counterion, and extended packing influence the photoreactivity.
