Site effects in controlling the chemical reactivity in crystals: solid-state photochromism of N-(n-propyl)nitrospiropyrane.
The dynamics of decay of the photoproducts of the two non equivalent molecules of N-(n-propyl) nitrospiropyrane in the crystalline state is significantly different due to the effect of the specific site where each of the molecules is located in the crystal latice.
