Number of spatial arrangements of tetrasubstituted biphenyl
There are three independent stereogenic centers or elements in this molecule,


chiral carbon atom of the chloroethyl group,
double bond of the propenyl group,
axis of the substituted biphenyl with bulky substituents at 2,2′,6,6′ positions.


Each of them has two configurations. It means that the total number of stereoisomers is 23 = 8. (No one of them is symmetrical and cannot be superimposed with its mirror image, no one can be superimposed with any other one.)
