    Investigating solid‐state photoreactivity, driven by crystal packing, has been a major enduring research theme in Crystal Engineering. Trans‐3‐styryl pyridine (3‐StPy), an unsymmetric olefin, is photo‐stable. However, when converted to a series of salts, they exhibited solid‐state photoreactivity under UV irradiation. Crystal structures of 3‐StPy, its protonated salts, namely, (3‐StPyH)(HSO4) ⋅ H2O (1), (3‐StPyH)(CF3CO2) (2), and (3‐StPyH)(p‐Tol‐SO3) (3), and methylated salt (3‐StPyMe)I (4) were determined by X‐ray diffraction. 3‐StPy molecules were found not to align in the parallel arrangement required to undergo solid‐state [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction; however, upon protonation and methylation, the unsymmetric 3‐StPyH+ and [3‐StPyMe]+ cations aligned in a head‐to‐tail parallel arrangement, predominantly governed by the cation⋅⋅⋅π interactions. Various structural features, e. g., the patterns of hydrogen bonding, etc. have been addressed, and established by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The salt with p‐tolyl sulfonate anion (3) with Z′>1 represents a rare crystal class. It was also noted that the crystals of 1 and 2 melted into a liquid state upon photodimerization reaction. UV‐vis absorption and fluorescence properties have been explored. The electronic structures of 3‐StPy, 3‐StPyH+, [3‐StPyMe]+, and the dimer [3,3′‐MPyPhCB]2+ cations have been elucidated by DFT calculations, and the effect of N‐quaternization on crystal structures and photophysical properties has been discussed.
