Luminescent N-arylphthalimidino derivatives 2- and 4-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)benzoic acid: examples of a new class of reaction induced crystallization for an organic compound.

Luminescent phthalimidino derivatives 2- and 4-(1-oxo-1H-2,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)benzoic acid were prepared and characterized, and their crystallization revealed a new approach for the crystallization of an organic compound which is induced by a reaction but not the synthetic reaction itself.
