r-1,t-3-Bis[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-c-2,t-4-bis(pyridin-4-yl)cyclobutane

The title compound, C30H32N4, was synthesized by the photodimerization of trans-4-{2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethenyl}pyridine in benzene upon irradiation with UV light. This photodimer has a puckered cyclobutane ring with the four aryl substituents in an r-1,t-2,c-3,t conformation. The puckering an...
