The melting heats AZZm for binary inorganic compounds are presented in Table 9.1, for elements in Table 9.3. Melting heats of organic and organometallic crystals with molecular structures are much smaller. Thus, AH (kJ/mol) = 5.4 for cyclobutane,...

In the dimers, the / and Z/Z designation refers to the stereochemistry of the substiments attached to the cyclobutane ring. In both cases, the cyclobutane ring of the dimer is the syn head-to-tail isoma-.

Poly(vinyl dnnamate) is the earliest synthetic photo-polymer Its molecular structure, the polyvinyl backbone with dnnamoyl side drains, was proposed with the expectation that the photocycloaddition of polymer-bound dnnamoyl groups would crosslink adjacent macromolecules. The practical aims of the inventors were realized, and the whole range of successful photopolymos has been developed from the ordinal idea However, the actual mechanism of oosslink formation in these systems remained unclarified untD recently. Repeated attonpts to identify cyclobutane derivatives in irradiated films of poly(vinyl dimamate) failed with traces of a-truxiUic acid detected in the hydrolyzed material only at the very early stage of irradiation.

The molecular structures of cyclobutane and several of its simply substituted derivatives have been investigated by i.r. and Raman spectroscopy. The energy barriers between the two puckered minima for cyclobutane and [ Hg]-cyclobutane have been determined (518 + 5cm" and 508 8cm , respectively). With chloro-, bromo-, and cyano-substituents, asymmetry is introduced into the potential function for ring inversion, and conformational isomers become possible. However, the best fit of the far-i.r. data was for asymmetric potentials with single minima. It was presumed that the minima correspond to puckered conformations with equatorial substituents. The Raman spectra of chloro-, fluoro-, and methyl-cyclobutane lead to similar conclusions. The vibrational spectrum of crystalline cyclobutanecarboxylic acid has been reported and is best interpreted in terms of a hydrogen-bonded dimeric structure with a centre of symmetry.

Mechanistic evidence indicates 450,451> that the triplet enone first approaches the olefinic partner to form an exciplex. The next step consists in the formation of one of the new C—C bonds to give a 1,4-diradical, which is now the immediate precursor of the cyclobutane. Both exciplex and 1,4-diradical can decay resp. disproportionate to afford ground state enone and alkene. Eventually oxetane formation, i.e. addition of the carbonyl group of the enone to an olefin is also observed452. Although at first view the photocycloaddition of an enone to an alkene would be expected to afford a variety of structurally related products, the knowledge of the influence of substituents on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction allows the selective synthesis of the desired annelation product in inter-molecular reactions 453,454a b). As for intramolecular reactions, the substituent effects are made up by structural limitations 449). 

When the co-crystallised samples were irradiated with UV light for several hours, the stereospecific (100%) formation of rcff-tetrakis(4-pyridyl)cyclobutane (99) was observed. This was confirmed by spectroscopic, analytical and structural methods. The latter showed that, once irradiated, the new co-crystallized materials (99) 2(97) and (99)-2(98) are formed respectively. In both these structures the molecular components are held together by hydrogen bonding interactions. 

Generally, at least in theory, an important aspect of cation-radical polymerization, from a commercial viewpoint, is that either catalysts or monomer cation-radicals can be generated electrochem-ically. Such an approach deserves a special treatment. The scope of cation-radical polymerization appears to be very substantial. A variety of cation-radical pericyclic reaction types can potentially be applied, including cyclobutanation, Diels-Alder addition, and cyclopropanation. The monomers that are most effectively employed in the cation-radical context are diverse and distinct from those that are used in standard polymerization methods (i.e., vinyl monomers). Consequently, the obtained polymers are structurally distinct from those available by conventional methods although the molecular masses observed so far are still modest. Further development in this area would be promising. 

It is important to emphasize the role of the solid state in providing a medium for the formation of the molecular assembly 2(resorcinol) 2(4,4 -bpe). Indeed, that 2(resorcinol) 2(4,4 -bpe) is stabilized by weak forces (i.e. hydrogen bonds) comparable in strength to structure effects of solvent and entropy of the liquid phase [13] means that the components of 2(resorcinol)-2(4,4 -bpe) may assemble in solution to produce multiple equilibria involving individual molecules and undesirable (photostable) complexes. In effect, the solid state was used to sequester [23] 2(resorcinol) 2(4,4 -bpe) from the liquid phase, facilitating the formation of the desired photoactive complex and construction of the cyclobutane product.
