Abstract

Anisotropic cell volume expansion by mechanical grinding of the solid facilitates the concerted rotation of the photo-inert helical coordination polymer, which causes the misaligned arms containing olefin functional groups in the neighbouring strands to align to undergo [2+2] cycloaddition reaction in 83% yield.
