Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-11"> The realization of a pair of photoreactive polymorphic co-crystals that are held together by the combination of I&ctdot;N halogen bonding interactions and C&ndash;H&ctdot;Cl contacts is reported. The reactant molecule within these co-crystals is based upon an unsymmetrical olefin, namely 4-stilbazole, that results in a regioselective solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction in both polymorphic forms. Each solid undergoes a quantitative photoreaction which yields exclusively the head-to-tail photoproduct.</div><div class="line" id="line-19"> <br/></div>
