(Received 24 May 2009; accepted 3 June 2009; online 10 June 2009)

There are two independent mol­ecules and one toluene solvent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C25H12Br4·0.5C7H8. The dihedral angles between the fluorene ring systems are 85.30 (6) and 84.95 (6)° in the two mol­ecules. The disortions in angles from the ideal sp3-hybridization geometry around the tetra­hedral C atoms are due to the strain imposed by the central five-membered ring and steric effects.

Comment top

Molecules with a spirobifluorene core have gained wide application in molecular electronics, light-emitting materials production and enantioselective molecular recognition. In addition, macro spiro-organic molecules have attracted interest (Hagen et al., 1997; Salbeck et al., 1997), since they may play a key role in the construction of modern electronic systems and can be used in synthesizing hole transport media which have achieved impressive solar-to-electrical energy conversion efficiencies (James et al., 1990). We are interested in the title compound (TBSBF.0.5(C7H8), due to its versatility and utility in organic synthesis and herein we report its crystal structure.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The disortions in angles from the ideal [109.5°] sp3 hybridization geometry around the tetrahedral C atoms in each molecule [C9 and C34] are due to the strain imposed by the central five-membered ring and from steric effects. The dihedral angles between the fluorene ring systems in each molecule are 85.30 (6) and 84.95 (6)°.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized according to the published procedure (Marsitzky & Carter, 2001). To a solution of 9,9'-spirobifluorene (8g, 25.3mmol) in chloroform (100mL) was added bromine (16.6g, 103.7mmol) in 20mL of chloroform (Marsitzky & Carter, 2001). The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The precipitate formed was seperated by filtration and washed with methanol to give the crude target compound. The product, TBSBF, was recrystallized from toluene, giving a yield of 55%.

Refinement top

H atoms were placed in idealized positions and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93-0.96 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl C atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
