Crystal, molecular, and electronic structure of 13,13-difluoro-1,7-methano[12]annulene
Abstract
The results of an X-ray diffraction study of 13,13-difluoro-1,7-methano[12]annulene at room temperature and at 125 K are presented and the crystal, molecular, and electronic structure is discussed. Environmental effects on the structure are discussed by an analysis of the influence of temperature, and by comparison with the geometry of a previously studied bridged [12]annulene.
