%X Crystals of [2,2]metacyclophan-1-ene, C16H14, are orthorhombic, with a 10.932(1), b 17.336(1), c 12.089(1) &#506;, space group Pbca and Z 8. The structure was solved from diffractometer data [1055 independent reflections with I &#8805; 3&#963;(I)] by direct methods. Full-matrix least- squares refinement of all atoms converged at R 0.047, Rw 0.033. The aromatic rings exhibit distortions from planarity with a maximum deviation of 0.16 &#506;; these distortions are due to the short C...C contact of 2.59 &#506; between the benzene rings.
