Crystal Structure of 4,8,9,10-Tetraphenyl-1,3-diazaadamantane

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₃₂H₃₀N₂, all of the four six-membered rings that constitute the diazaadamantanone cage adopt chair conformations. Two of the four phenyl substituents occupy axial, and the other two occupy equatorial positions relative to their respective C₅N rings of the adamantane framework. There are no hydrogen-bonded interactions between the two molecules in the unit cell. The crystal packing is characterized by weak C-H…p interactions.
