Abstract:The title compound, C(18)H(18), crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P2(1)/c with one molecule as the asymmetric unit. The methyl-group H atoms at the 4 and 5 positions are ordered, while those at the 2 and 7 positions are disordered. The torsion of the bay region of the core is notably similar to that of other 4, 5-dimethylphenanthrenes. No substantial C-H.pi interaction occurs in this structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
