NMR investigation of substituent effects on strength of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions to supports the formation of [2 + 2] photodimerization in (para-X-ba):::(bpe)||(bpe):::(para-X-ba) complexes

We have investigated the ability of para-X-phenylboronic acid (para-X-ba) to enable reactivity of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) to direct intermolecular [2 + 2] photodimerization via computational chemistry. Para-X-ba would support the formation of discrete four component hydrogen bonded mo...
