Dimethyl 2,2 '-(4,5-dicyano-o-phenylenedioxy)dibenzoate

Abstract

There are two independent molecules in the structure of the title compound, C24H16N2O6, one in a general position, the other on a twofold axis of space group Pbcn. There are thus one and a half molecules in the asymmetric unit. C-H...O, C-H...N and C-H...pi interactions exert some influence on the molecular conformation and packing in the crystal structure.
