Abstract

2-butyne-1,4-diol ( ) is used as a divergent ditopic template that directs -1,2-bis ( pyridyl) ethylene ( , where = ' = 3 or 4) to undergo an intermolecular [2 + 2] photodimerization in the solid state. The components of cocrystals [( )·( )] and [( )·( )] form 1D hydrogen-bonded polymers with assembled as infinite parallel stacks. The alkenes undergo [2 + 2] photocycloadditions to form -tetrakis ( -pyridyl) cyclobutane (where = 3 or 4). We demonstrate that the reactive solid involving exhibits supramolecular catalysis.
