Preferred Label : crown conformation;
IUPAC definition : A conformation of a saturated cyclic molecular entity, containing an even number (
8) of atoms in the ring, in which these atoms lie alternately in each of two parallel
planes and are symmetrically equivalent (D4d for cyclooctane, D5d for cyclodecane
etc). It is analogous to the chair conformation of cyclohexane.;
