title: Reversing the code of a template-directed solid-state synthesis: a bipyridine template that directs a single-crystal-to-single-crystal [2 + 2] photodimerisation of a dicarboxylic acid.
abstract: A linear template in the form of a bipyridine has been developed and is shown to direct a single-crystal-to-single-crystal [2 + 2] photodimerisation of a dicarboxylic acid.
