( E )-1-(3,3′-Dimethoxy-4′-{[( E )-4-nitrobenzylidene]amino}-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)- N -(4-nitrophenyl)methanimine
Abstract
, crystallizes with one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit centered on a twofold rotation axis located at the midpoint of the central C-C bond. The structure is non-planar overall, with nearly planar anisole-imine and nitro-phenyl-methanimine fragments. In the crystal, a cooperative network of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds organizes the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the (101) plane, which are further consolidated by offset π-π stacking between centrosymmetrically related phenyl rings and C-H⋯π inter-actions. Collectively, these non-covalent inter-actions contribute to the cohesion of the three-dimensional supra-molecular framework.
