1,4-Bis[3,11-dithiatricyclo[11.3.1.15,9]octadeca-1(17),5,7,9(18),13,15-hexaen-7-yl]buta-1,3-diyne

Abstract

The complete molecule of the title compound, C36H30S4 {common name: 1,4-[4-(9,17-dithia[3.3]metacyclophane)]-1,3-butadiyne}, is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C—C bond [1.367 (5) Å]. Both cyclophane units exist in cisoid pseudo-boat–chair chair–boat conformations. In the crystal, the packing is controlled by van der Waals interactions.
