This paper overviews the photochemical reactions of two-component crystals and solid mixtures. It covers mixed crystals, hydrogen-bonded cocrystals, donor-acceptor crystals, inclusion crystals, crystalline organic salts (including Lewis acid complexes), and solid mixtures. Solid-state sensitization and quenching and solid-state asymmetric syntheses are also mentioned. Emphasis is placed on the synthetic points. Neither details of reaction mechanisms nor crystal structures are described in most cases.
