Abstract: The title compound, C₃₀H₂₄, was produced serendipitously whilst investigating the reactions of 3,3-diphenylcyclopropane with low-valent metal substrates. There are only a small number of crystal structure determinations of products from metal-catalysed (2 + 2)-cycloadditions of cyclopropenes. The product here is the centrosymmetric trans isomer.
