Assembly of a photoreactive coordination polymer containing rectangular grids.
We describe the synthesis, crystal structure and solid state reactivity of cadmium fumarate dihydrate, which is made up of planar H-bonded metal-organic layers and undergoes, upon irradiation, a topochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.
