Notes:
X-ray data on the crystal and molecular structure of bis(biphenyl-2,2′-diyl)allene, reveal a remarkably strong deviation from linearity (170·1°) of the allene unit of the molecule. Ab initio calculations involving dimers of molecules yield good correlation with this geometry, showing that the non-linearity is due to packing effects in the crystal.
