Single-crystal-to-single-crystal E-->Z and Z-->E isomerizations of 3-chloroacrylic acid within the nanocavities of a supramolecular framework.
Single-crystal-to-single-crystal E-->Z and Z-->E photo-isomerizations of 3-chloroacrylic acid (HClA) take place with full retention of the crystal lattice in the framework cavities of the supramolecular crystals CECR.HClA.2MeOH.1.5H(2)O (CECR = C-ethylcalix[4] resorcinarene); their progress has been monitored as the reaction proceeds.
