Crystal Structure of (3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-(1,4,5-triphenyl)-1H-imidazole

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound was solved in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with a = 18.8290(8)Å, b = 24.515(2)Å, c = 9.6301(18)Å, β = 99.245(7)°, V = 4387.5(9)ų, Z = 8, R₁ = 0.0618, for 4752 reflections with I > 2σ(I), with two unique molecules in the asymmetric unit. Relatively strong inter-molecular hydrogen bonds connect these two molecules, forming a dimer structure. Weak hydrogen bonds between these dimers together with C-H…p interactions stabilize the crystal structure.
