1,8-Bis(4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)naphthalene

Abstract

Molecules of the title compound, C24H18N2O6, are located on a twofold rotation axis passing through through the central C—C bond of the naphthalene ring system. The molecular conformation is characterized by a roughly coplanar arrangement of the two substituted phenyl rings [dihedral angle 18.53 (5)°]. These two aryl rings are each twisted by 65.40 (5)° from the plane of the naphthyl unit.
