X-Ray crystal structure of (E,E)-[2.4]paracyclophane-1,17-diene
Abstract
The molecular structure of (E,E)-[2.4] paracyclophane-1,17-diene, a unique paracyclophane analogue, was established by an X-ray crystal structure analysis, and found to be of 2/m molecular symmetry with all benzene rings and vinylene groups perpendicular to molecular ring.
