Controlling of Intermolecular Proton Transfer in the Crystals of Potentially Tautomeric Organic Compounds via Molecular Packing and Structure of Hydrogen Bonds

Abstract

A possibility to obtain photochromic crystals with photoinitiated intermolecular proton transfer basing on the potentially tautomeric prototropic organic crystals has been shown. The structurre of these compounds, ways of structural modification and syntheis of crystals with such structure of a hydrogen bond which is favorable for intermolecular proton transfer have been studied.
