ains a non-delocalized double bond [C = C 1.34 (2) Angstrom]. Pairs of
molecules form pi-bonded dimers, centred on inversion points at y = 1
/4 and 3/4 [closest interplanar C ... C approach 3.59 (3)Angstrom]. Co
nsequently, the crystal structure is composed of alternating aromatic
(y = 1/4 or 3/4) and aliphatic zones (y = 0 or 1/2).
