title: A solid-state trimerisation of a diene diacid affords a bicyclobutyl: reactant structure from X-ray powder data and product separation and structure determination via co-crystallisation.
abstract: A bicyclobutyl that bears six carboxylic acid groups results from a trimerisation of a diene diacid in the solid state. Powder X-ray diffraction and a co-crystallisation are used to solve the structure of the diene and elucidate the stereochemistry of the bicyclobutyl, respectively.
