Racemic and Meso Crystal Structures of an Axial-Chiral Spirobi-(dinaphthoazepin)ium Salt: Emergence of an S<sub>4</sub>-Symmetric Molecule

To date, only a few instances of S<sub>4</sub>-symmetric organic molecules exist. In principle, spirobi-(dinaphthoazepin)ium cations can achieve this highly symmetric point group. Heating racemic 2,2′-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1′binaphthyl with aqueous ammonia afforded a mixture of <i>rac...
