Self-assembly, concomitant photochemical processes, and improvement of the yield of [2 + 2] photoreactions from supramolecular arrays via mechanochemical assistance

Abstract

Novel examples of self-assembly, structural transformations and concomitant photochemical processes from supramolecular ternary assemblies directed by charge-assisted hydrogen bonds are shown. In addition, mechanochemical assistance is also shown as a potential tool in order to improve the yield of [2 + 2] photoreactions in the solid state.
