Conclusion
The crystal structure of 1,8-bis(4-fluorophenyl)naphthalene shows a U-shaped geometry with specific dihedral angles between the phenyl and naphthalene rings.
Supporting Evidence
- The two benzene rings are twisted with respect to each other at an angle of 18.95°.
- The dihedral angles between the naphthalene and the two phenyl rings are 67.76° and 67.50°.
- Weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions are present in the crystal structure.
Takeaway
This study looks at a special molecule made of two benzene rings and a naphthalene, showing how they are arranged in space.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized using a reaction between 1,8-dibromonaphthalene and 4-fluorophenylboronic acid, followed by purification and crystallization.
