Abstract
The structure of N,N′-bis(5-octyloxytropon-2-yl)piperazine was determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the space group C2/c (#15) with cell parameters a = 31.61(2)Å, b = 7.686(5)Å, c = 12.807(8)Å, β = 97.643(19)°, Z = 4, and V = 3084(4)Å3. The molecule sits on a center of symmetry, such that the two tropone rings are in an anti conformation with respect to one another across the piperazine ring. Intermolecular C-H…O and C-H…π interactions were observed in the crystal lattice.
