Influence of C-H···π interactions on the solid-state [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of a Ag(I) coordination complex in an inorganic co-crystal

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jul 18;49(56):6298-300. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42793e.

Abstract

The C-H···π interaction plays a vital role in directing a single-crystal to single-crystal [2+2] cycloaddition reaction to form an intramolecular head-to-head photodimer compared to an intermolecular head-to-tail photoproduct of 4-styrylpyridine of a Ag(I) coordination complex in an inorganic co-crystal.
