We report on our investigation of C-C bonding longer than 2.0 Å, which can be realized by perpendicularly facing two fluorenyl rings in the title compound. A small orbital overlap between the distantly positioned carbon atoms is observed as a small concentration of electrons on the X-ray electron density map. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the compound originate from the in-phase and out-of-phase interactions of the overlapping orbitals, respectively, with a gap of 2.39 eV. Solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy shows a sharp peak at 82.9 ppm for the long-bonded carbons, and a CASSCF(6,6) calculation indicates small diradical character. The experimental and theoretical analyses reveal sufficient covalent-bonding interaction in the long-bonded carbon pair.
