Stereospecific and quantitative photodimerisation of terminal olefins in the solid state.
Reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with AgClO(3) yields a crystalline solid that supports a stereospecific and quantitative [2+2] photodimerisation of two terminal olefins. Structural dynamics of the -CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH(2) group, nature of the counterion, and extended packing influence the photoreactivity.
