Light-Triggered Transformation of Stilbene Supramolecular Polymers: Thermodynamic versus Kinetic Control Light irradiation of stilbene supramolecular polymers produces [2 + 2] cycloadducts in the kinetically trapped state, which convert to the thermodynamically favorable state upon thermal annealing due to the shift of hydrogen bonds from intra- to inter-complexation modes.
