Crystal and molecular structures of 2-(p-methylbenzyl)- and 2-(p-chlorobenzyl)-5-(p-bromobenzylidene)cyclopentanone. Influence of chloro and methyl substitution on solid-state reactivity
Theocharis, Charis R.; Jones, W.; Motevalli, M.; Hursthouse, M. B. (1982)The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined as part of an investigation into the factors which may influence the solid-state reactivity of benzylidene cyclopentanones. The p-methyl derivative, which ...

The solid-state photodimerisation of 2,5-dibenzylidenecyclopentanone (DBCP): A topochemical reaction that yields an amorphous product
Theocharis, Charis R.; Jones, W.; Thomas, John M.; Motevalli, M.; Hursthouse, M. B. (1984)When 2,5-dibenzylidenecyclopentanone (DBCP) is irradiated by u.v. light in the crystalline state the principal product formed by a [2 + 2] dimerisation is 2,9-dibenzylidene-6,12-diphenyldispiro[4.1.4.1]-dodecane-1,8-dione (DDBCP)
