TY - JOUR A1 - Zhao, Junmei A1 - Böhmer, Volker A1 - Bolte, Michael T1 - 2,2´-Dimethyl-2,2´-(m-phenylenedimethylene)propanedinitrile T2 - Acta crystallographica / Section E, Structure reports online N2 - The title compound, C16H14N4, features an aromatic ring with two 2,2´-dicyanopropyl residues in positions 1 and 3, which are located above and below the ring plane. The two residues differ in their conformation with respect to the aromatic ring: whereas one of the Cmethyl-C-Cmethylene-Caromatic torsion angles is gauche [68.93 (12)°], the other one is fully staggered [177.63 (9)°]. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions. Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean σ(C–C) = 0.002 Å; R factor = 0.037; wR factor = 0.101; data-to-parameter ratio = 15.0.
