Why is it important?

First study demonstrating syn-conformation as against normally expected (bookish chemistry) anti-conformation for-1,2-diaryl-ethanes in solid state by X-ray crystallography.

Perspectives

Uniquely, demonstrate selection of electron deficient nucleic bases (especially purines) for intra- and inter-molecular stacking in DNA/RNA structures over electron rich aromatics (like benzenoids) by nature.
