Abstract
2,5-Bis(2,3-dihydroxybenzylidene)cyclopentanone is topochemically photodimerisable, and i.r. spectroscopic evidence suggests that its packing mode on co-ordination to various metal ions is modified; some of the resulting co-ordination polymers are photochemically cross-linkable, whilst others are photostable.
