3,6-Bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione

The molecule of the title compound, C₂₆H₂₆N₂O₂, has no molecular symmetry (C₁). The phenyl rings are asymmetrically twisted by 7.9 (3) and 9.0 (3)° in opposite directions with respect to their attached five-membered ring of the heterocyclic ring system. The heterocyclic ring system is not entirely planar, but is folded in the middle, with a dihedral angle of 176.7 (3)° between the two halves. The molecules are stacked nearly in a `bricks in a brick wall' fashion.
