Abstract

It is well known that the replacement of two or more of the ortho hydrogen atoms in the benzene rings of biphenyl by lager atoms or groups hinders the rotation about the l.l'-carbon single bond in the biphenyl system. If the groups are so large that they are unable to pass each other upon rotation of the l,l'-bond, then the two benzene rings are forced to assume a non-planar configuration.
