7α,15α-Dibromo-8,16-diphenyl-6,7,14,15-tetrahydro-6α,14α-epithiocycloocta[1,2-b:5,6-b′]diquinoline deuterochloroform solvate
Abstract
In the racemic title compound, C34H22Br2N2S·CDCl3, pairs of diquinoline host molecules form centrosymmetric brick-like dimers utilizing three different aryl edge-to-face interactions (EF1–3). The dimeric (EF)6 (i.e. 2 × EF1–3) building blocks pack with the deuterochloroform guest molecules positioned near each of their corners. The Cl atoms of the latter are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.53 (2):0.47 (2) ratio.
