Film review : Two amide‐containing bisolefin monomers undergo solid‐state polymerization (see example) through a [2+2] reaction in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal fashion. The transformation was favored by the self‐templating and shock‐absorbing nature of hydrogen‐bonding layers. The pyridine‐containing polymers were soluble and useful for making plastic films with considerable tensile strengths.
