Abstract
Abstract Raman phonon spectroscopy and electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy have been used to study the mechanism of reaction and the role of electron–phonon coupling in determining the photoreactivity of p-formylcinnamic acid (p-FCA) in the crystalline state. Raman and infrared spectroscopy in the internal vibration region have been used to characterize the reactant p-FCA and the dimeric product t-3,t-4-bis(p-formylphenyl)-ν-1,c-2-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid. Phonon spectroscopy reveals that the reaction proceeds principally by a heterogeneous mechanism though a homogeneous mechanism in the initial stage of short time domain can not be ruled out. The electronic spectroscopy suggests a strong electron–phonon coupling in the monomer crystal.
