The title molecule, C₃₀H₂₄, was prepared as a possible precursor to buckminsterfullerene cages. The two enantiomers adopt the anti configuration, with one S/R and two R/S methyl groups, one anti to the other two. The truxene framework is slightly non-planar: with respect to the central six-ring mean plane, the three methyl C atoms are 1.377 (3), −1.475 (3) and 1.515 (3) Å distant, whereas the respective proximate peripheral six-ring mean planes make dihedral angles of 6.27 (6), 3.45 (7) and −7.37 (7)°.

Comment top

Buckminsterfullerene is a spherical fullerene molecule with the formula C₆₀. It was first prepared in 1985 by Kroto et al. Buckybowls have been recognized as valuable intermediates in the synthesis of buckminsterfullerene and also show many valuable and interesting properties, including surface selective chemistry. As a part of ongoing investigations for synthesis of bucky bowls, the title molecule, trimethyltruxene, C₃₀H₂₄, was prepared as a possible precursor to buckminsterfullerene cages. Furthermore, these truxene compounds, which serve as backbone of bucky bowl derivatives also have shown properties of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on oligothiophene-functionalized truxene derivatives, which have been fabricated for use as novel star-shaped organic semiconductors in solution (Sun et al., 2005).

Two isomers of the title compound, syn and anti are possible. De Frutos et al. (2002) prepared mixtures of the two isomers, which could be converted to the pure, more stable syn compound by reaction with base, potassium t-butoxide. We report here the structure of the less stable anti isomer, which is not a viable precursor for buckybowls.

The parent heptacyclic aromatic system, truxene (10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2 - a:1',2'-c]fluorene), is planar with 3/m (C_{3 h}) symmetry. The title molecule, I, is slightly non-planar with no discernable pattern: with respect to the central 6-ring mean plane, the three methyl groups are +1.377 (3), -1.475 (3) and +1.515 (3) Å distant, whereas the proximate peripheral 6-ring mean planes make dihedral angles of +6.27 (6)°, +3.45 (7)° and -7.37 (7)°.

Experimental top

Synthesis of truxene was carried by the one-pot, acid catalyzed, head-to-tail cyclotrimerization synthesis method detailed in (Amick & Scott, 2007) The trimethylation of truxene was carried out by treating truxene with n-butyl lithium, followed by treatment with methyl iodide. A suitable single-crystal was obtained by recrystallization from diethyl ether, dichloromethane and methanol.

Special details top

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.
