R. E. Sykora, K. Kalachnikova and G. T. Spyridis

Abstract: The title compound, C₂₄H₂₂O₂, exists exclusively as the keto tautomer in the crystalline state with a dihedral angle of 66.8 (2)° between the carbonyl groups. Furthermore, steric crowding produces an uncommonly long carbon-carbon bond [1.587 (3) Å] linking the triphenylmethyl and diketone moieties.
