Packing analysis and the crystal chemistry of 2,5-dibenzylidenecyclopent-3-ene-1-one. Rationale for a non-topochemical solid-state reaction

  • Published:

Abstract

The molecular and crystal structure of 2,5-dibenzylidenecyclopent-3-ene-1-one has been studied in detail to explain the formation of a non-topochemical pseudo-mirror-symmetric dimer upon photoirradiation. Packing energy calculations, analysis of the thermal motion, and lattice energy calculations are employed to analyse and understand the observed dimerization reaction, crystal structure, and crystal properties.
