Photodimerization of fumaric or several g-form trans-cinnamic acids proceeded successfully in the solid state through amine salt formation with ammonia or some aromatic heterocyclic amines (especially, imidazole). It appears that this success is due to a small size or a planar structure of the amine

✦ Synopsis
The photodimerization of benzo-annellated acridizinium derivatives, namely naphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium and naphtho[2,1-b]quinolizinium bromide, has been investigated in solution and in the solid state. Irradiation of the naphthoquinolizinium salts in solution gave all possible regioisomers in an unselective [4+4] photocycloaddition reaction. In contrast, the irradiation of crystalline samples resulted in regioselective dimerization to give the anti-head-to-tail photodimers.

The locus of the photodimerization reaction of 9-methylanthracene in the crystal was examined by high-resolution solid-state 13C NMR techniques. Examination of the 13C spectra of the products showed that only the trans dimer is formed by the solid state photodimerization, while both trans and cis di
