Abstract: A Zn(II) based one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer (CP), [Zn(cis-1,4-chdc)(4-nvp)] (1) {cis-1,4-H2chdc = cis-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and 4-nvp = 4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine}, undergoes a solid-state photochemical [2+2] cycloaddition reaction, accompanied by mechanical motion, wherein crystals show swelling, jumping, splitting… read more here.
