Crystals of the 1-chloroanthracene photodimer, viz. trans-bi(1-chloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-anthracenediyl), C28H18Cl2, were obtained from the solid-state [4+4]-photodimerization of the monomer, C14H9Cl, followed by recrystallization. The symmetry of the product molecules is defined by the orientation of the reactant molecules in the crystal. The mutual orientation parameters calculated for adjacent monomers explain the reactivity of the compound. The molecules in the crystal of the monomer and the recrystallized photodimer pack differently and the photodimer has crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry.

Crystals of 1-chloroathracene monomer, (I), were obtained by crystallization from a mixture of acetone and cyclohexane (Ratio?). Crystals of the photodimer, (II), were obtained by irradiation of the reactant powder with the 430 nm line from a 150 W Xe lamp, followed by recrystallization from a mixture of chloroform and toluene (Ratio?).
Low-angle reflections with θ below 5.8° were not measured. H-atom parameters were freely refined.

Special details top
Experimental. Intensities of reflections were collected with a CCD camera diffractometer. The general strategy of data collection for area-detector diffractometers was described by Scheidt, W. R. & Turowska-Tyrk, I. (1994). Inorg. Chem. 33, 1314–1318. Low-angle reflections with θ below 5.8° were not measured. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Crystallographic structural studies of [4 + 4] photodimerization in crystals have in most cases been limited to analyses of the crystal structure of the reactant (Bart & Schmidt, 1971; Heller & Schmidt, 1971; Ihmels et al., 1999, 2000; Wang & Jones, 1987, 1994). The structures of the photodimers are also known, but usually the photodimerization was carried out in solution (Abboud et al., 1990; Becker et al., 1988; Langer & Becker, 1993a,b,c,d; Ojima et al., 2000; Peters et al., 2000; Sinha et al., 1991; Sundell & Becker, 1994) and seldom in crystals (Chandross & Ferguson, 1966; Craig & Sarti-Fantoni, 1966; Dougherty et al., 1986; Ehrenberg, 1966, 1968; Harada et al., 1995, 1996; Wada & Tanaka, 1977). [4 + 4] photodimerization of the single-crystal-to-single-crystal type is very rare (Craig & Sarti-Fantoni, 1966; Dougherty et al., 1986; Ehrenberg, 1966, 1968; Harada et al., 1995; Wada & Tanaka, 1977).
Recently, the crystal structure changes monitored step-by-step during [2 + 2] photodimerization (Turowska-Tyrk, 2001, 2003), [4 + 4] photodimerization (Turowska-Tyrk & Trzop, 2003), thermal isomerization (Bogadi et al., 2002), [4 + 2] dimerization (Kim, Hubig et al., 2001; Kim, Lindeman et al., 2001) and polymerization (Foley et al., 1999) have been described. In this part of our series, we will analyze the structures of the reactant, (I), and product, (II), of the [4 + 4] photodimerization of 1-chloroanthracene in crystals. The possibility of such photodimerization in the solid state was stated by Heller & Schmidt (1971). Unfortunately, the reaction cannot be conducted in the single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner. Although we undertook many trials using different wavelengths, always on the monomer low-energy absorption tail (Enkelmann et al., 1993; Novak et al., 1993a,b), the crystals collapsed into microcrystalline material. \sch
Figs. 1 and 2 show views of the molecules and fragments of the crystal lattices for the reactant, (I), and the product, (II), respectively. The product molecule has a characteristic shape of two united butterflies related by an inversion centre. The adjacent reactant molecules have the same orientation in the crystal. The central bonds formed between the two moieties of the dimer are elongated (Table 1), and this is also observed for photoproducts of other anthracenes. It is worth adding that there are known examples of [4 + 4] photodimerization when, although the monomers were situated head-to-head in the crystal, the dimers obtained by single-crystal-to-single-crystal photoreaction had head-to-tail symmetry (Craig & Sarti-Fantoni, 1966; Ehrenberg, 1968; Kaupp, 1993). A very interesting explanation of this phenomenon was given by Kaupp (1993).
The mutual orientation of adjacent monomer molecules in a crystal is one of the factors influencing [4 + 4] photodimerization (Bart & Schmidt, 1971; Heller & Schmidt, 1971; Ihmels et al., 1999, 2000; Wang & Jones, 1987, 1994). This orientation can be described by the following five parameters (Ihmels et al., 2000; Turowska-Tyrk & Trzop, 2003; Wang & Jones, 1994): α, the C9···C10···C9i and C10···C9···C10i angles, τ, the C9···C10···C9i···C10i and C10···C9···C10i···C9i torsion angles, ϕ, the dihedral angle between the cantral rings of adjacent monomers, κ, the angle between the central ring of the parent monomer molecule and the plane formed by the atoms C9, C10, C9i and C10i, and di, the C9···C10i and C10···C9i distances [symmetry code: (i)]. The ideal values for these are 90°, 0°, 0°, 90° and less than 4.2 Å, respectively. The parameters are 98.21 (8), 0, 0 and 67.86 (8)° and 3.760 (3) Å, respectively, for (I), and 108.2, 0, 0 and 74.3° and 3.859 Å for 9-methylanthracene (Turowska-Tyrk & Trzop, 2003). Please make sure the parameters are in the same order as the definitions. These values explain the reactivity of both compounds.
There are also differences between (I) and 9-methylanthracene. The reactant and recrystallized product crystals of the former belong to different space groups, namely P21/c and C2/c, respectively. The a cell constant is doubled in the product. Moreover, comparison of Figs. 1 and 2 shows that, although the orientation of the upper molecules (A and B pairs) is similar, the orientation of the bottom ones (C and D pairs) is very different for the reactant and the product. This might be the reason why the photoreaction is accompanied by crystal disintegration, making the monitoring of structural changes by means of X-ray structure analysis impossible. We succeeded in carrying out such monitoring in the case of 9-methylanthracene, although only to about 30% reaction progress (Turowska-Tyrk & Trzop, 2003). In the case of 9-methylanthracene, the space group was the same (P21/c) and the cell constants and crystal packing more similar for the reactant and the recrystallized photoproduct crystals.
