title: 9,10-Dioxo-9,10-di-hydro-anthracene-1,4-diyl di-acetate.
abstract: In the title compound, C18H12O6, the anthra-quinone ring system is nearly planar [maximum deviation = 0.161 (3) Å] and both acetate groups are located on the same side of the ring plane. A supra-molecular architecture arises in the crystal owing to π-π stacking between parallel benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.883 (4) Å] and weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
