Crystal structure of 1,8-dibenzoyl-2,7-diphenoxynaphthalene

Abstract

In the title compound, C36H24O4, the benzene rings of the benzoyl and phenoxy groups make dihedral angles of 75.01 (4), 75.78 (4), 83.17 (5) and 80.84 (5)° with the naphthalene ring system. In the crystal, two types of C—H...π interactions between the benzene rings of the benzoyl groups and the naphthalene unit, and two kinds of π–π interactions between the benzene rings, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.879 (1) and 3.696 (1) Å, are observed.
