We developed a general method for the selective photochemical homo- and heterodimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives with the use of commercially available 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene as a covalent template. A variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical β-truxinic acids were obtained in high yields and as single diastereomers. The use of a template not only provides the alignment of the two olefins with suitable proximity (<4.2 Å) but also allows the heterodimerization of two different cinnamic acids, leading to unsymmetrical β-truxinic acid products.

We developed ultrathin dual-mesoporous polymer nanosheets by combining co-assembly of different templates with in situ synthesis of functional polymers, which featured inherent smaller and template-directed larger mesopores (2.6 nm and 15 nm, respectively), ultrathin nanolayers (20 nm), high surface area (268 m2 g-1), intrinsic fluorescent properties and effective detectability for organophosphates.

The photoirradiation of 9-phenylethynylanthracene in degassed chloroform and benzene afforded not only a [4 + 2]-anti Diels-Alder addition dimer, but also a [4 + 4]-anti-dimer as a minor product for the first time as revealed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, while the anthracene residue was quantitatively oxidised in undegassed dilute chloroform, giving the corresponding endoperoxides. The photochemical reactions of carboxylic acid monomers bearing a 9-phenylethynylanthracene unit at one and both ends were further investigated in the presence and absence of the complementary amidine dimer as the template. It was found that a similar photooxidation reaction of the monomers was significantly suppressed in the presence of the template even in undegassed chloroform.

Mechanically interlocked structures such as rotaxanes and catenanes provide a novel backbone for constructing functional materials with unique structural characteristics. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a series of photoswitchable rotaxanes and catenanes containing photochromic dithienylethene fragments using a template-directed clipping approach based on dynamic imine chemistry. Their structures have been confirmed using NMR, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.

The concept of using a product of a template-directed solid-state reaction as a template is demonstrated. A cyclobutane lined with four carboxylic acid groups is employed as the template in photoreactive cocrystals. The resulting material is shown to exhibit polymorphism.
