Solid-State [2+2] Photoreaction of Isostructural Cd(II) Metal Complexes and Solid-State Fluorescence.

ABSTRACT: A green method to synthesize cyclobutane derivatives has been developed over the past three decades in the form of solid-state [2+2] photochemical reactions. These solid-state reactions also play a major role in the structural transformation of hybrid materials. In this regard, crystal engineering has played a major role in designing photoreactive molecular systems. Here, we report three novel binuclear Cd(II) complexes with the molecular formula [Cd₂(4spy)₄L₄], where 4spy = 4-styryl pyridine and L = p-toluate (1); 4-fluorobenzoate (2); and 3-fluorobenzoate (3). Although three different benzoates are used, all three complexes are isostructural, as corroborated through SCXRD experiments. Structural analysis also helped in identify
