Photodimerization of fumaric or several γ-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. A layered or a channel-type clathrate crystal structure was revealed, respectively.
