In the crystal structure, the molecule adopts a photoactive antiparallel conformation, with two n-pentyl groups located on opposite sides of the cyclopentene ring. The cyclopentene ring assumes an envelope conformation. The distance between the two reactive C atoms on the thiophene rings is 3.834 (7) . One of the n-pentyl groups is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.7 and 0.3. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S160053680800202X
