“…The lengths of the two N C triple bonds in (I) are consistent with those found in similar compounds (Atalay et al, 2003;Erdem et al, 2004;Iskeleli & Aǧ ar, 2005). The C O bond distance is close to the values reported in dimethyl 2,2 0 -(4,5-dicyano-o-phenylenedioxy)dibenzoate (Ocak et al, 2004). The dihedral angle between the planes of rings A (C3-C8) and B (C9-C14) is 72.56 (8) , while the dihedral angle between the planes of rings A and C (C17-C22) is 3.16 (12) .…”
