Z isomerization of tiglic acid in a supramolecular frameworkAbstract: The single-crystal-to-single-crystal E Z photoisomerization of tiglic acid (2,3-dimethylacrylic acid) occurs in the supramolecular crystals CECR-HTA·2MeOH·1.5H2O (1) (where HTA = tiglic acid, CECR = C-ethylcalix[4]resorcinarene) with the preservation of the crystal lattice, indicating the `scaffolding effect' of the molecular framework, which holds the crystal together notwithstanding the change in shape of the embedded guest molecules. A photostationary state is reached at a concentration of ca 30% of the Z isomers. A kinetic analysis shows the Z E back-reaction to proceed with a larger rate constant than the E Z isomerization.
Keywords: E Z photoisomerizations; single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation; host-guest systems; topotactic reactions.
