Unequivocal existence of a centrosymmetric associated dimer of the title co
mpound 1 formed by C-H...O=C hydrogen bonds was found by X-ray crystallogra
phy. The occurrence of this hydrogen bond, as well as the observed reductio
n of the bond-length alternation in the seven-membered ring of 1, is unders
tandable by the dipole resonance structures of the compound. (C) 1999 Elsev
