16. In addition to the C=C bond, the pyridyl units of 2,4-bpe lie disordered across two positions (occupancies: 85:15). For similar disorder involving a stilbene, see: Galli, S.; Mercandelli, P.; Sironi, A. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 3767.
17. X-ray analysis of the finely ground powder confirms that the structure of the powder is representative of the single-crystal structure of 1.
18. 2,4-bpe is photoactive as a pure solid and produces a mixture of 'head-to-head' and 'head-to-tail' products upon UV-irradiation (unpublished results).
19. That the head-to-tail photoproduct of 2,4-bpe forms in quantitative yield suggests that the photoreaction has occurred either within or between the double layers of 1. See, Savion, Z.; Wenick, D.L. J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 2424.
