Abstract: The conformational dependence of the uv of the title compd. (I) was calcd. and compared with the exptl. uv. Both arom. rings were twisted 15-30° out of the plane of the CO group π system in cyclohexane; only one arom. ring was twisted out of this place by 60-90° in MeOH - the 2nd arom. ring was coplanar with the CO π-system. H bonding in I was discussed.
