(a) The ambient temperature/pressure, `folded' conformation of bianthrone (Harnik & Schmidt, 1954). (b) The proposed twisted form (Harnik, 1956; Korenstein et al., 1973). (c) Molecular structure of bianthrone derived from the crystal structure at ambient pressure. Ellipsoids enclose 30% probability surfaces. Primed atoms are related to unprimed atoms by the operation (2-x, 1-y, 1-z). |
