Abstract

The title triene, C18H10F6, was prepared via the Pd0 coupling reaction of (E)-(1,2-di­fluoro-1,2-ethenediyl)­bis­(tri­butyl­stan­nane) with (Z)-β-iodo-α,β-di­fluoro­styrene in N,N′-dimethylformamide/tetrahydrofuran. The crystal structure shows the product to be the 1E,3E,5E isomer. Due to steric interactions between F atoms, the double bonds are not coplanar. The planes defined by the two terminal double bonds are almost perpendicular.
