Abstract

For the solid-state photoisomerization of benzyl (Z,Z)-muconate to the corresponding (E,E)-muconate, the direct observation of a change in the crystal structure has revealed that the isomerization occurs by a topochemical reaction process according to a bicycle-pedal model and is finally accompanied by a phase transition to a stable crystal structure.
