Structure of Hexaethylidenecyclohexane (Hexamethyl‐[6]radialene) by X‐ray Analysis

Abstract

Abstract The crystal structure of the title compound (triclinic, a = 7.877, b = 7.210, c = 7.891 Å, α = 105.56, β = 116.25, γ = 79.84°, space group P 1 , Z = 1) has been determined by X‐ray analysis. The molecule has effective S 6 ( 3 ) symmetry, and the conformation of the six‐membered ring is similar to that of cyclohexane.
