Abstract
Crystal structures have been determined for inclusion complexes of the host molecule 9,10-ethenoanthracene-11,12-bis(diphenylmethanol), with acetone, ethanol and toluene as guest solvent molecules. The host mol ecule exhibits an intramolecular O--H ... O hydrogen bond in each of t he complexes, with intermolecular hydrogen bonds to the acetone and et hanol guests. Different photoproducts are obtained from solution and s olid-state photolyses; the solid-state reaction involves a relatively small amount of molecular rearrangement, for which a mechanism is prop osed.
