Figure 2
Molecular overlay of 1 (blue) with the reduced precursor hydroquinone (BrHBQH2(CN)2, red). Viewed along the plane of the dimethoxybenzene ring and the C—C biphenyl bond (left), and parallel to the plane of the dimethoxybenzene ring (right). The overlay is meant to show the divergent geometry between the precursor and the title molecule, based on the different solid-state interactions. |
