Abstract
The cis,syn,cis-tricyclic [2+2]-dimer of cyclooctatetraene, C16H16, crystallizes in space group Pca21 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. An extensive network of weak C-H...π(C=C) interactions between the two independent molecules, A and B, as well as A..A and B..B interactions, are observed in the supramolecular assembly. The C-H groups point more towards one C atom than to the centre of the C=C bond. Notable among the interactions are bifurcated (cyclobutane)C-HC=C contacts that span transannularly the eight-membered ring.
