null (Ed.)The molecular structure of trans -bis(pyridin-3-yl)ethylene ( 3,3′-bpe ), C 12 H 10 N 2 , as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction is reported. The molecule self-assembles into two dimensional arrays by a combination of C—H...N hydrogen bonds and edge-to-face C—H... π interactions that stack in a herringbone arrangement perpendicular to the crystallographic c -axis. The supramolecular forces that direct the packing of 3,3′-bpe as well as its packing assembly within the crystal are also compared to those observed within the structures of the other symmetrical isomers trans -1,2-bis( n -pyridyl)ethylene ( n , n ′-bpe , where n = n ′ = 2 or 4).more » « less

null (Ed.)The formation of a photoreactive cocrystal based upon 1,2-diiodoperchlorobenzene ( 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 ) and trans -1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene ( BPE ) has been achieved. The resulting cocrystal, 2( 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 )·( BPE ) or C 6 Cl 4 I 2 ·0.5C 12 H 10 N 2 , comprises planar sheets of the components held together by the combination of I...N halogen bonds and halogen–halogen contacts. Notably, the 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 molecules π-stack in a homogeneous and face-to-face orientation that results in an infinite column of the halogen-bond donor. As a consequence of this stacking arrangement and I...N halogen bonds, molecules of BPE also stack in this type of pattern. In particular, neighbouring ethylene groups in BPE are found to be parallel and within the accepted distance for a photoreaction. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the cocrystal undergoes a solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction that produces rctt -tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)cyclobutane ( TPCB ) with an overall yield of 89%. A solvent-free approach utilizing dry vortex grinding of the components also resulted in a photoreactive material with a similar yield.more » « less
