Abstract

An undergraduate laboratory experiment that employs molecules, in the form of linear hydrogen-bond templates, to direct the [2 + 2] photodimerization in the solid state is described. The experiment introduces the undergraduate students to supramolecular and solid-state chemistry, as well as aspects of green chemistry.
