Abstract:
In the title centrosymmetric compound, C(28)H(32)N(4)O(2) (2+) 2I(-), the two midazole rings are approximately perpendicular to the central anthracene ring system [dihedral angle = 86.6 (2)°]. The ionic units are linked into a two-dimensional network parallel to (01) by C-H⋯I hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions involving the anthracene ring system and imidazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.717 (3) Å].

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is more stable, the...
