Mixed Crystal Formation and Accelerated Reactivity

Fortunately, it was found that the 2-ce complexes with 3-chloropyridine (3clpy) and 3-bromopyridine (3brpy) as axial base ligands form isomorphous structures to 

The above discussion should be applied to the crystalline-state reactions. For the single crystal-to-single crystal reactions, however, the initiators of the reaction, which means tiny nuclei composed of the product, were already distribuled in a crystal, but the crystal structure was similar to that of the reactant crystal, as observed in the reactions of the oxygen insertion to the distibene derivative and the
