In the title compound, C28H24O4, the benzoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti-parallel, and the benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 20.03 (7)°. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings and the naphthalene ring system are 68.42 (5) and 71.69 (5)°. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100].

ConspectusSkeletal editing, which involves adding, deleting, or substituting single or multiple atoms within ring systems, has emerged as a transformative approach in modern synthetic chemistry. This innovative strategy addresses the ever-present demand for developing new drugs and advanced materials by enabling precise modifications of molecular frameworks without disrupting essential functional complexities. Ideally performed at late stages of synthesis, skeletal editing minimizes the need for the cost- and labor-intensive processes often associated with synthesis, thus accelerating the discovery and optimization of complex molecular architectures.

Pentalene (C8H6) and NN- and BB-bridged heterocyclic analogues (BN)4H6, derived by replacement of CC pairs with BN, are taken as paradigms for tuning of ring-current (anti)aromaticity by variation of π charge, electronegativity and substitution pattern. Ab initio calculation of maps for the π current density induced in these model systems by a perpendicular external magnetic field exhibits the full range of tropicity, from diatropic aromatic to nonaromatic to paratropic antiaromatic, with a ready rationalisation in terms of an orbital model. Further calculations on systems of varying charge in which these motifs are embedded in extended PAH systems with naphthalene and phenanthrene 'clamps' show promise for switching between current patterns and related opto-electronic properties.

Eleutherlene A (), an unprecedented carbon skeleton featuring an aryl-fused 6-methyl-2,7-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane unit, and eleutherlene B (), a naphthoquinone derivative with interesting ring fusion of an α,β-unsaturated γ-lactam and a tetrahydropyran moiety, along with two novel naphthoquinone alkaloids, eleutherlenes C () and D (), were isolated from and identified.

Aromatic diimides such as naphthalene diimide (NDI) and pyromellitic diimide (MDI) are important building blocks for organic electrode materials. They feature a two-electron redox mechanism that allows for energy storage. Due to the smaller size of MDI compared to NDI its theoretical capacity is higher.

DNA gyrase is a bacterial type IIA topoisomerase that can create temporary double-stranded DNA breaks to regulate DNA topology and an archetypical target of antibiotics. The widely used quinolone class of drugs use a water-metal ion bridge in interacting with the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase. Zoliflodacin sits in the same pocket as quinolones but interacts with the GyrB subunit and also stabilizes lethal double-stranded DNA breaks.
