Abstract
Tricyclohexylmethane has a melting point close to ambient temperature. Nevertheless the X-ray structure has been determined. The crystal is chiral but its chirality could not be established. The solid is unusua l in that the atomic volume per carbon atom is 22.2 angstrom3 which is substantially greater than is usual for a hydrocarbon. Since there is little data in the literature on the compound we have reported the so lution-state proton and proton-decoupled NMR spectra.
