1-(p-Biphenyl)-4'-(2-naphthyl)cubane

R. N. Evans, R. Gilardi and T. Emrick

Abstract: In the title compound, C₃₀H₂₂, the biphenyl and naphthyl substituents are each planar to within 0.03  Å. They extend from the cubane like the wings of a butterfly, with a slight dihedral angle of 9.4  (2)° between their planes. In the crystal structure, the naphthyl groups form close-packed stacks, with cubyls and biphenyls extending alternately to the right and the left.
