The title compound, C16H14, an asymmetric naphthyl-/methyl-substituted cyclo-penta-diene was synthesized and one isomer of five accessible through sigmatropic rearrangement was isolated and characterized by 1H NMR and X-ray diffraction. The crystal packing features an inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-action.
Keywords: crystal structure; cyclopentadiene; luminescence sensitization.
