Abstract
The isomerization of maleic acid has been studied extensively both chemically
and photochemically in solution. However, no literature exists on the photochemical
solid-state transformation. Perhaps this is a result of the fact that traditionally solidstate
reactions have had little attention due to their relatively slow rates and the lack
of instrumentation and techniques to study compounds in the solid-state. With the
development of solid-state chemistry over the past couple of decades and the
emergence of new techniques such as solid-state NMR, x-ray diffraction and infrared
spectroscopy such a studies are now feasible. In addition to investigating the actual
kinetics of the solid-state transformation using HPLC, the correlations between the
rate of isomerization and the changes of other solid-state molecular properties such as
solid-state NMR, solid-state IR and x-ray diffraction were studied.
