Abstract

The crystal structure of 5,12-diphenyltetracene was determined. The compound crystallizes in triclinic form, space group P 1 with a = 8.936(3), b = 11.527(4), c = 11.643(5)Å, α = 112.84(2), β = 107.24(2)°, γ = 64.41(2)°, V = 984.8(6)Å³, Z = 2. The tetracene backbone is not planar but takes a somewhat twisted conformation. There is π-π stacking between the tetracene moieties.
