Abstract:
In the title compound, C38H28O6, the dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and its pendant benz-yloxy rings A and B are 88.05 (7) and 80.84 (7)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the A and B rings and their attached phenyl rings are 49.15 (8) and 80.78 (8)°, respectively. In the extended structure, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π hydrogen bonds, and π-π stacking inter-actions, which variously generate C(11) chains and R 2 2(12) loops as part of a three-dimensional network. The Hirshfeld surface [fingerprint contributions = H⋯H (42.3%), C⋯H/H⋯C (40.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (15.7%)] and inter-molecular inter-action energies are reported, with dispersion (E dis = -428.6 kJ mol-1) being the major contributor.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
