Abstract

Cocrystallization of 4-stilbazole with 4,6-diX resorcinol (X = Cl or Br) yields a pair of photoreactive isostructural solids .  Small variations in the spatial arrangement within each cocrystal leads to either the head-to-head (hh) or the unexpected head-to-tail (ht) photoproduct after undergoing a solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction.
