1,3-Bis(2-cyanopropan-2-yl)-5-methylbenzene

The complete molecule of the title compound [systematic name: 2,2′-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(2-methylpropanenitrile)] is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis, which leads to disorder of the H atoms on the methyl group attached to the benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the benzene rin...

Description
Summary:The complete molecule of the title compound [systematic name: 2,2′-(5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(2-methylpropanenitrile)] is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis, which leads to disorder of the H atoms on the methyl group attached to the benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the nitrile group is 26.2 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of weak C—H...π interactions link molecules into dimers. The molecule absorbs at 212 nm as a result of a π–π* transition.
