摘要

The title compound, C48H40, is a tetra­isopropyl-substituted polyannulenoenyne. The unsubstituted polyannulenoenyne, C36H16 (CSD: RICVEE; CAS: 186494-87-1), has quasi-D 2 (222) symmetry, as determined by least-squares fit (excluding H atoms) to a model optimized in D 2 symmetry by mol­ecular mechanics (r.m.s. deviation = 0.239 Å). The least-squares fits of 36 common C atoms of the title compound (at 90 K) to the parent (at 295 K) and to the optimized model show r.m.s. deviations of 0.419 and 0.426 Å, respectively.
