21. As seen in the X-ray structure of polymorphs of substituted bipyrrole, the bond length linking two π moieties is sensitively altered depending on the dihedral angle: the pyrrole-pyrrole bond length of the anti conformer, where the dihedral angle Φ = 180°, is 1.4362(17) Â, whereas that of the syn conformer, where Φ = 40°, is 1.4490
