A [2+2] cycloaddition reaction has been observed in a number of solids. The cyclobutane ring in a photodimerized material can be cleaved into olefins by UV light and heat. The high thermal stability of the metal-organic salt K2SDC (H2SDC = 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid) has been successfully utilized to investigate the reversible cleavage of a cyclobutane ring. The two polymorphs of K2SDC undergo reversible cyclobutane formation by UV light and cleavage by heat in cycles. Of these, one polymorp

A net gain: A kinetically assembled, but thermally stable network is obtained using the labile metal species [Cu4 I4 (PPh3 )4 ]. The network uniquely adsorbs I2 by chemisorption through I3 (-) formation. The chemisorbed I2 readily desorbs above 380 K owing to the dynamic motion of the framework. A thermodynamically assembled network physisorbs I2 , which is an exact fit for the channel.

Fast powders and slow crystals: A uniform powder sample of a flexible porous coordination network is prepared in high yield by kinetically controlled synthesis and its crystal structure solved by synchrotron ab initio powder X-ray diffraction (see picture). Crystals of a totally different porous network with larger channels for guest encapsulation are also obtained by thermodynamic control in a slow crystallization process.

A light-induced transient bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)carbene trapped in a yield of ca. 20% in the crystal of the precursor diazomethane was characterized by X-ray crystallography at low temperatures. The most interesting geometrical parameters are the carbenic angle θ and the bond distances between the carbenic carbon and the phenyl carbons. The obtained θ is 142(2)°, while the distances are 1.437(15) and 1.423(16) Å, respectively. These values are significantly different from the corresponding v

Isomerism in covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has scarcely been known. Here, for the first time we show 3D COFs with three framework isomers or polymorphs constructed from the same building blocks. All isomers were obtained as large (>10 μm) crystals; although their crystal shapes were distinctly different, they showed identical FT-IR and solid-state NMR spectra. Our structural analyses revealed unprecedented triple isomerism in 3D COFs (noninterpenetrated <b>dia</b>, <b>qtz</b>, and 3-fold in

Crystalline-state photoreactions of the following diphenyldiazomethanes were investigated by in situ X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations: bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)diazomethane (1-N2), bis(2,4,6-tribromophenyl)diazomethane (2-N2), bis(2,6-dibromo-4-methylphenyl)diazomethane (3-N2), bis(2,6-dibromo-4-tert-butylphenyl)diazomethane (4-N2), (2,4,6-tribromophenyl)-(2,6-dimethyl-4-tert-butylphenyl)diazomethane (5-N2), bis(4-bromophenyl)diazomethane(6-N2), and diazofluoren

[Pd(16)Ni(4)(CO)(22)(PPh(3))(4)](2)(-) (1) and [Pd(33)Ni(9)(CO)(41)(PPh(3))(6)](4)(-) (2) were obtained as the two major products from the reduction of PdCl(2)(PPh(3))(2) with [Ni(6)(CO)(12)](2)(-). Their crystal structures as [PPh(4)](+) salts were unambiguously determined from CCD X-ray crystallographic analyses; the resulting stoichiometries were ascertained from elemental analyses.

Synchrotron powder XRD analysis was used to solve the crystal structure of a kinetically controlled coordination network including tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) guests, which has a large unit cell (15 729(1) Å3). Very short S⋅⋅⋅S contacts among the TTF guests were achieved by confinement in the network pores (see picture). Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They are made availa

Solid-liquid interface synthesis provided a unique way to selectively and efficiently prepare molecular complexes (ML(2)) and metastable porous coordination networks in short crystallization times. In sharp contrast, their solution reactions gave interpenetrated open-framework networks. We succeeded in solving a crystal structure of the metastable network by ab initio powder X-ray analysis.
