The cyclobutane cleavage reaction is an important process and has received continuous interest. Herein, we demonstrate the visible laser-driven cleavage reaction of cyclobutane in crystal form by using in situ Raman spectroscopy. Silver(I) coordination-induced strain and thermal effects from the laser irradiation are the two main driving forces for the cleavage of cyclobutane crystals. This work may open up a new avenue for studying cyclobutane cleavage reactions, as compared to the conventional routes using ex situ techniques.
环丁烷裂解反应是一个重要的过程，并且一直受到持续关注。在此，我们通过原位拉曼光谱法展示了晶体形式的环丁烷的可见光激光驱动裂解反应。银（I）配位诱导的应变和激光辐照产生的热效应是环丁烷晶体裂解的两个主要驱动力。与使用非原位技术的传统途径相比，这项工作可能为研究环丁烷裂解反应开辟一条新途径。
