syn,syn-15,17-Di-2-naphthyl-hexa-cyclo-[10.2.1.1.1.0.0]hepta-decane deuterochloro-form monosolvate.

: The main molecule of the title compound, C(37)H(36)·CDCl(3), is a hydro-carbon with two naphthalene segments attached to opposite ends of a rigid norbornylogous spacer with an overall structure that is approximately C-shaped. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring planes is 9.27 (7)°. The cleft that exists between the naphthalene rings is large enough that the compound crystallizes with a solvent mol-ecule (CDCl(3)) in the cleft. The CDCl(3) solvent mol-ecule is present in two disordered orientations in a 3:2 ratio, each involving C-D⋯π to C(6) ring centers.
