Methyl {4-[8-(4-Trifluoromethylphenyl)naphthalen-1-yl]phenyl} Selenide

The phenyl rings of the title compound, C₂₄H₁₇F₃Se, make an angle of 21.1 (2)° to each other and 59.1 (1)° (CF₃-substituted) and 59.6 (1)° (SeMe-substituted) with the naphthalene plane. The major distortion of the naphthalene-ring system is seen in the angles C8a-C1-C9, C8-C8a-C1 and C8a-C8-C16, which are all ca 125°; there is little out-of-plane distortion.
