1,4,5,8-Tetraisopropylanthracene

Abstract

The mol­ecules of the title compound, C26H34, possess crystallographically imposed inversion symmetry. The anthracene ring system is planar within 0.038 (1) Å. The two methyl groups in each independent isopropyl group are oriented on either side of the anthracene plane. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules adopt a herringbone-like arrangement without π–π stacking.
