Abstract
Recurrence relations have been employed to obtain the maximum possible theoretical conversion in a topochemically controlled organic solid state reaction. Experimental deviations from this analytical value of ≈82% reflect the importance of defects, molecular relaxation and surface phenomena in real crystals.
