carbonyl interactions of both parallel and antiparallel types, with C
O distances in the range 3.041 (3) to 3.431 (2) Å. This compound is of interest with respect to the synthesis of fullerene fragments, such as corannulene and semibuckminsterfullerene derivatives (or `buckybowls'), and is a side product of the previously reported oxidation reaction. Structural details, such as planarity analysis of fused rings, out-of-plane deviation of substituents, intermolecular interactions, and longer than typical bond lengths, will be discussed as well as comparisons to structurally related compounds.Supporting information

(E)-3,3',4,4',7,7',8,8'-octamethyl-2H,2'H-[1,1'-bi(cyclopenta[fg]acenaphthylenylidene)]-2,2',5,5',6,6'-hexaone is a side product of the previously reported oxidation reaction (Figure 2) of 3,4,7,8-tetramethylcyclopenta[fg]acenaphthylene-1,5(2H,6H)-dione with SeO2 in a dioxane/water solvent mixture under reflux conditions into the desired 3,4,7,8-tetramethylcyclopenta[fg]acenaphthylene-1,2,5,6-tetraone major product (Sygula et al., 1997). The yield of this minor product is < 5% and its crystal structure was not previously published. Single crystals were obtained by recrystallizing in dichloromethane.
All non-hydrogen atoms were identified and subsequently refined anisotropically. With the remaining unaccounted electron densities visible in SXGRAPH (Farrugia, 1999) difference Fourier map, hydrogen atomic sites were generated using HFIX commands and refined as idealized "riding" positions. The extinction parameter had a refined value of zero and, therefore, was omitted from the model. Final refinement cycles included the SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008) recommended weighting scheme. Missing symmetry was checked using ADDSYM feature in PLATON (Spek, 2003).
The highest remaining undetermined electron density above 0.45 e Å-3, identified as "Q1", at the conclusion of the refinement in the difference Fourier map is 0.80 e Å-3. This electron density is located ~1.2 Å from O2A and "Q1"—O2A—C5A forms an angle of ~100°. "Q1" is also ~1.9 Å from C5A and the angles for "Q1"—C5A—C13A and "Q1"—C5A—C6A are ~91° and ~163°, respectively. No chemically reasonable solution was identified for "Q1".

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The structure of title compound (Figure 1 and minor product in Figure 2) can be described as a dimer of two pyracene frameworks joined together with a C═C bond. Both individual tetracyclic subunits are nearly planar (root mean square, or r.m.s., deviation of each fitted plane of 14 pyracene carbon atoms is 0.0539 Å and 0.0543 Å, respectively) and have four methyl groups and three carbonyl groups on the peripheral carbons. The least-squares planes for the two halves of this highly conjugated molecule are twisted along the central C═C bond with an angle of 50.78 (3)° at 90 K. A visual "side-view" ORTEP representation of this twist is shown in Figure 3.
The out-of-plane linear deviation of the methyl substituents from a least squares plane of the pyracene carbon atoms ranges from 0.029 (3) Å to 0.365 (3) Å. In comparison to another compound in the Cambridge Structural Database or CSD (Allen, 2002), this range is below the maximum substituent deviation reported for 1,4,5,6,7,10,11,12-octamethylindeno[1,2,3-cd]fluoranthene (CSD Refcode NOTVAT) which is a fullerene fragment with 4 methyl groups on the peripheral naphthalene carbons and 4 methyl groups on the peripheral phenyl carbons (Sygula et al., 1997). These methyl carbons were reported to deviate up to 0.4 Å with respect to a fitted least squares plane.
For the planar distortion along the fused bond of one naphthalene subunit, a 6.69 (10)° dihedral angle is calculated between least squares planes of two ortho-fused phenyl groups, C3—C4—C13—C12—C10—C11 (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0075 Å) and C7—C8—C9—C10—C12—C14 (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0275 Å). For the other naphthalene subunit, the dihedral angle, 1.53 (12)°, is much smaller between fitted planes of phenyl groups, C7A—C8A—C9A—C10A—C12A—C14A (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0193 Å) and C3A—C4A—C13A—C12A—C10A—C11A (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0226 Å).
The dihedral angle is 3.92 (12)° between two respective least squares planes of the 5-membered carbon rings C5—C6—C14—C12—C13 (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0137 Å) and C1—C2—C11—C10—C9 (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0105 Å) which are connected across the aromatic fused C≐C bond of the naphthalene framework. In a similar comparison to the other half of the compound, there is a significantly larger dihedral angle, 6.57 (14)°, between least squares planes defined by C1A—C2A—C11A—C10A—C9A (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0279 Å) and C5A—C6A—C14A—C12A—C13A (r.m.s. deviation of 0.0147 Å).
An examination of intermolecular carbonyl-carbonyl interactions (Allen et al., 1998) reveals the presence of antiparallel and parallel motifs (Figure 4), but not any perpendicular carbonyl arrangement. The C5a═O2a carbonyls interact with each other in an antiparallel fashion with a torsion angle of zero (C5a═O2a···C5a═O2a) and interatomic distance of 3.041 (3) Å (O2a···C5a). Two different carbonyls, C2a═O1a and C6a═O3a, pack in a parallel relative orientation with -179.65 (17)° torsion angle (C6a═ O3a···C2a═O1a) and interatomic distance of 3.152 (2) Å (O3a···C2a). Close O···C contacts can also be observed among the remaining carbonyls, such as 3.085 (2) Å between O3···C5 and 3.431 (2) Å between O2···C2. However, the torsion angles for these interactions deviate significantly from the expected carbonyl-carbonyl torsion angles. C6═ O3···C5═O2 is pseudo-antiparallel with a torsion angle 63.87 (17)° and C5═O2···C2═ O1 is pseudo-parallel with a torsion angle -112.68 (16)°.
For every equivalent of the title compound, there is an equal molar amount of dichloromethane solvent. A close contacts between one of the solvent's Cl atoms and a carbonyl of the title compound has angles of 167.82 (8)° and 173.25 (15)° for the atoms C19—Cl2···O2a and Cl2···O2a═C5a, respectively, and an interatomic distance between Cl2···O2a of 3.1328 (16) Å, which is less than the sum of the van der Waals radii (Bondi, 1964) of 3.27 Å (rO 1.52 Å, rCl 1.75 Å). The angles adopted for this halogen-carbonyl interaction are approaching 180°. The next closest interaction with a halogen and a carbonyl O atom is outside the calculated van der Waals sphere, Cl1···O3 of 3.4166 (16) Å, and deviates away from 180° with a C19—Cl1···O3 angle of 71.06 (8)° and Cl1···O3═C6 angle of 153.92 (13)°.
There are long C(sp2)—C(sp2) bond lengths between the carbonyl carbons with a C5—C6 bond length of 1.601 (3) Å and a C5A—C6A bond length of 1.590 (3) Å. These long bond lengths involve 5-membered carbon rings that are fused to a naphthalene framework. The angle between the 3 carbon atoms shared by the 5-membered carbon rings and the naphthalene rings form angles (119.07 (16)° and 119.23 (17)° for C14—C12—C13 and C14A—C12A—C13A, respectively) that are closer to the angles observed in hexagons, 120°, instead of pentagons, 108°. The combination of a long bond length and the deviation in bond angles up to ~119° results in a significantly distorted, yet planar, ring.
An example of this type of ring distortion is found in the structure of 1,2,5,6 tetraketopyracene (Abdourazak et al., 1994), CSD Refcode YEHHAU, which contains two C(sp2)—C(sp2) bonds between carbonyl carbons that are both separated by 1.579 (9) Å based on diffraction data collected at T = 115 K. This example also has two enlarged bond angles; both measuring 119.2 (3)° between the fused carbons connecting the 5-membered carbon rings to the naphthalene framework. In the publication containing the 1,2,5,6 tetraketopyracene crystal structure, calculation results were also published and are in good agreement with this structural elongation (using either the PM3 or ab initio method).
Also, there are long C(sp2)—C(sp2) bond lengths of 1.545 (3) Å for the C1—C2 bond and 1.553 (3) Å for the C1A—C2A bond. These bond lengths are shorter than the bonds discussed in the previous paragraphs. This observation coincides with less bond angle distortion for the carbons in the 5-membered rings that are fused with the naphthalene subunit. The bond angles between fused bonds are 116.98 (16)° and 116.85 (16)° for C9—C10—C11 and C9A—C10A—C11A, respectively, and near the average of 120° (hexagon) and 108° (pentagon).
1,1'-bi(acenaphthen-1-ylidene)-2,2'-dione (CSD Refcode GOZNOY) is structurally similar to the central part of the title compound. The bond distance for C(sp2)—C(sp2) bond length between the carbonyl carbon and the carbon connecting the two acenaphthylen-1(2H)-one halves is 1.526 (3) Å at T = 295 K (Mehta et al., 1999). A derivative of this diketone compound with the addition of 4 tert-butyl groups (CSD Refcode ITILEC) has a C(sp2)—C(sp2) bond length of 1.532 (2) Å at T = 200 K (Kilway et al., 2004).
