AbstractThe molecular structure of diphenylmethyl methacrylate has been determined by means of X‐ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a= 29, 177 (2),b= 6,017(1),c= 16,110(1) Å, β = 96,840(5)°, andZ= 8. The structure was solved by the direct method and refined by the block‐diagonal least‐squares procedure toR= 0,071 (Rw= 0,091) for 1768 measured reflections. The molecule has anantiperiplanarconformation as to the CC and CO double bonds about the C(1)C(2) bond and asynperiplanarconformation as to the CO and CO bon
