42. Intermolecular π-π interactions in benzene and naphthalene can occur through a T-shaped geometry. Calculations show that the minimum energy configuration is a T-shape. However, in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as pyrene and coronene and porphyrins, it is the displaced parallel stacking that is observed in the solid state. In such systems, the T-shaped geometry does not contribute to the π-stacking interactions. See refs 3a and 9c. See also: Desiraju, G. R. Crystal Engineering.

60. In spite of repeated purification by recrystallization, elemental analysis of compounds 6 and 1 always gave lower values for the carbon content, presumably due to incomplete combustion of these carbon-rich molecules. Formation of black soot during the violent decomposition of 6 was evident during its melting point determination.
