The thermally activated NH→CH tautomerization process in crystals of 2(2,4-dinitrobenzyl) pyridine derivatives was investigated. The results indicate the absence of any trivial molecular structure-reactivity correlation, in contrast to what is found for similar systems in solutions. The absence of molecular structure-reactivity correlation in the crystalline state is attributed to the participation of neighboring molecules in the proton transfer process. A combined experimental and theoretical approach is presented and applied to the study of the tautomerization reaction in crystalline environments. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
