ResultsTable I shows the 28 coumarins investigated in the solid state for their photobehavior. Of these, 12 underwent photodimerization. Corresponding dimers are the only products isolated in these cases. While mass spectra confirmed the products to be the dimer, NMR was helpful in assigning the configuration. Spectral dataof dimers are provided in Table IV. The structure of the dimer of 7-methoxycoumarin was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The method of irradiation consisted of crushing the crystals between glass plates and irradiating them with a 450-W medium-pressure mercury arc lamp as the external light source. The temperature of the sample was maintained at 0 C, if needed, by a cooling bath. Dimerization was followed by micro TLC and XH NMR. Plots of time of irradiation vs. the yield of the dimer as measured by: H NMR are shown in Figure 1. In all cases the dimer yield reached a plateau and the yields represented in Table I correspond to this number. Further irradiation did not bring about any change. Powder diffraction experiments carried out with 7-methoxy-, 7-acetoxy-, 6-chloro-, and 4-methyl-6-chlorocoumarins indicated that the reaction proceeded from one crystalline phase to another crystalline phase and in no case did the reactants become amorphous.
