Abstract
trans-4-Phenylazobenzoic acid (pab) crystallized in three different morphologies: long rod-like crystals, bendable long thin crystals, and bent crystals. Of them, the bent crystals were obtained by recrystallizing after subjecting pab to UV-irradiation in solution. A small amount of cis-form in the bent crystals is responsible for the bent nature, while the elastic bending of thin platy crystals can be understood from the crystal packing.

Abstract
Reaction of bpy (bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine) with Pb(OAc)2·3H2O in DMF (DMF = dimethylformamide) afforded a metal-organic framework (MOF), [Pb2(μ-bpy)(μ-O2CCH3)2(μ-O2CCH3)2]·H2O (1). Reaction of bpy with Pb(O2CCF3)2 in a methanol and chloroform mixture furnished another MOF, [Pb(μ-bpy)(μ-O2CCF3)2]·1/2CHCl3 (2). However, the reaction of bpy with Pb(OAc)2·3H2O in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid in a similar reaction condition yielded a hydrogen-bonded zwitter-ionic complex of Pb(II), [Pb(bpy-H)2(O2CCF3)4] (3). All compounds have been characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, FT-IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopies. Compound 1 forms four heptacoordinated Pb(II) joined by (OCCH3)-O- linkages, resulting in a 3D noninterpenetrated MOF net with a four-connected uninodal sra (SrAl2) topology. However, in 2, tetra-connected Pb4(O2CCF3)8 cluster units are linked further through eight bpy ligands to furnish a doubly interpenetrated MOF with a new topology but having the very similar connectivity of 1, whereas 3 forms a zigzag hydrogen-bonded chain structure. The variation of carboxylate anions, pH of the reaction medium, and the ratio of the reactants profoundly affected the final topological structure of the compounds synthesized. The solid-state photoluminescence of 1-3 was investigated at room temperature. Interestingly 1, 2, and 3 achieved close to white light emission when excited at 329, 376, and 330 nm, respectively. The systematic understanding of the photophysical properties of analogous Pb-based compounds may open new perspectives for developing single-phase white-light-emitting materials using Pb(II) based MOFs.

Abstract
The existence of isomerism in coordination polymeric structures offers opportunities to understand structure-function relationships. Herein the serendipitous isolation is reported of two isomeric double-pillared-layer coordination polymeric structures arising from two different types of carboxyl-ate bonding of benzene-1,4-di-carboxyl-ate ligands to zinc(II), which constitutes a new type of structural isomerism. The different bonding modes not only alter the shape and size of the pores, but also the nature of interpenetration and photoreactivity. Although two trans,cis,trans-bpeb ligands with conjugated olefin bonds are aligned in close proximity in both of the structures, one isomer undergoes a double [2 + 2] cyclo-addition reaction and the second isomer only offers an incomplete single cyclo-addition product. This work demonstrates how small changes in the structural connectivity can have an impact on the overall structural, physical and chemical properties of such materials.

Abstract
This perspective focusses on the solid-state reactivity and structural transformation driven by photochemical methods in discrete metal complexes, organometallic compounds, metallo-macrocycles and cages. Changes in the metal-metal bond distances, racemization of chiral centres, fusion of cages, formation of coordination polymers, expected [2 + 2] and [4 + 4] cycloaddition products, unusual phenyl-olefin dimerization, and linkage isomerization of -SO2, -NO & -NO2 ligands cause the structural transformations. Of these, [2 + 2] photo-cycloaddition reactions have been widely studied and the photoreactions are made possible by various supramolecular interactions including hydrogen bonds, metallophilic, ππ and C-Hπ interactions, ligand design and metallic clips to bring the reactive functional groups closely into correct orientation close to the transition state. These photoreactions are often accompanied by crystal bending, mechanical motion, and changes in the magnetic and photoluminescence properties. In several cases, the single crystals have been preserved at the end of the reactions, which are known as single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) reactions.

Abstract
A dramatic effect of crystal morphology, photoreactivity and photosalient property is observed in a zinc(II) complex due to solvent effects and fluorine substitution at the backbone of the ligand. Of the two crystal forms with a 3-fluoro derivative, one yielded a curved morphology of single crystals and the second form shows photoreactivity in the solid state, whereas crystals of the 2-fluoro derivative pop during the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reaction. This is the first report documenting curved single crystals of metal complexes obtained naturally during crystallization, although such bent crystals have been observed in extended solids naturally, or bent by mechanical force or by UV irradiation.

Abstract
Three double pillared-layer CoII metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a pcu topology of a long, conformationally flexible, dipyridyl spacer ligand, 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)ethenyl]benzene (bpeb), and aromatic dicarboxylates (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc), 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (ndc), and biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (bpdc)) have been synthesised and structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography. The MOFs are denoted as [Co2(bpeb)2(bdc)2]·DMF·3H2O (1), [Co2(bpeb)2(ndc)2]·1.75DMF·3.75H2O (2), and [Co2(bpeb)2(bpdc)2]·3.5DMF·4H2O (3). In the dinuclear repeating unit, four carboxylates are bonded to two CoII atoms forming a (4,4) layer structure. The axial positions are occupied by bpeb ligands. Of these, 1 and 2 have 2-fold interpenetration, whereas 3 displays 3-fold interpenetration. The two bpeb space ligands in 1 have trans,trans,trans and trans,cis,trans conformations. In contrast, the bpeb ligands in 2 and 3 have a trans,cis,trans conformation. Although the olefin groups in two adjacent bpeb ligands, as the double pillars in 2 and 3, satisfy the conditions for photo-dimerisation to occur, they are photo-inactive. The conformational changes of bpeb, bonding modes of the dicarboxylates, and pore sizes in these double pillared-layer compounds have been discussed.

Abstract
The Rauhut–Currier (RC) reaction represents an efficient method for the construction of carbon–carbon bond in organic synthesis. However, the RC reactions involving allenoate substrates are very rare, and in particular, asymmetric intramolecular RC reaction of allenoates is yet to be discovered. Here, we show that the intramolecular RC reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of 1 mol% β-ICD, and bicyclic lactones are obtained in high yields and with excellent enantiomeric excesses. With the employment of γ-substituted allenoates as racemic precursors, a novel dynamic kinetic resolution of allenes via RC reaction is observed, which allows for facile synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched allenes. The Rauhut-Currier reaction is a powerful method to form carbon-carbon bonds. Here, the authors report an enantioselective intramolecular variant between alkenes and allenoates, giving access to highly functionalised bicyclic lactones in excellent enantiomeric excess.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry between copper acetate [Cu2(OAc)4] and 5,10,15,20-tetra-4-pyridyl-21H,23H-porphine (porphyrin, H2TPyP) is found to give rise to either a 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu(TPyP)Cu2(O2CCH3)4] or a 3D MOF [Cu(TPyP)CuCl2]·2.5TCE·7H2O], depending on the choice of solvent. The 2D MOF can be made into a film, which was doped with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), and the electrical conductivity of the thin film was increased by 3 orders of magnitude with respect to that of the undoped Cu-MOF. The formation of a charge-transfer complex between TCNQ and the 2D Cu-MOF also imparts stronger paramagnetic properties than for the undoped MOF.
