The title compound, C29H24Cl2O2, a fluorene derivative, features a C atom that is connected to four phenylene rings, two of which are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.035 Å) as they belong to the fluorene system. The other two rings are aligned at angles of 67.5 (5) and 85.5 (5)° with respect to the pair. The O and Cl atoms of the –OCH2CH2Cl– units adopt a gauche conformation [torsion angles = 61.6 (6) and 66.6 (5)°].

9,9-Bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene (0.5 g, 3.5 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (20 ml) to give a clear solution.Thionyl chloride (5 ml) along with two drops of N,N-dimethylformamide (to serve as catalyst) were added. The mixture was heated for 12 h. Aqueous ammonium hydroxide was added and the precipitated product was was extracted with dichloromethane. The compound was recrystallized from dichloromethane/hexane (7:3).
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93 to 0.97 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C).We are interested in V-shaped molecules; in the title compound, the kink is provided by the carbon atom of the fluorene system that is also connected to two other aromatic rings having para substituents (Scheme I). The compound is synthesized from 9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene, a commerically available reagent. The compound features a carbon atom that is connected to four phenylene rings, two of which are coplanar as these belong the the fluorene system (Fig. 1). The other two rings are aligned at angles of 67.5 (5) and 85.5 (5) ° with respect to the pair. The oxygen and chlorine atoms of the –OCH2CH2Cl– units adopt a
conformation [torsion angles 61.6 (6). 66.6 (5) °].For related structures, see: Shah et al. (2010a,b).

We are interested in V-shaped molecules; in the title compound, the kink is provided by the carbon atom of the fluorene system that is also connected to two other aromatic rings having para substituents (Scheme I). The compound is synthesized from 9,9-bis[4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl]fluorene, a commerically available reagent. The compound features a carbon atom that is connected to four phenylene rings, two of which are coplanar as these belong the the fluorene system (Fig. 1). The other two rings are aligned at angles of 67.5 (5) and 85.5 (5) ° with respect to the pair. The oxygen and chlorine atoms of the –OCH2CH2Cl– units adopt a gauche conformation [torsion angles 61.6 (6). 66.6 (5) °].
