title: Bis[2-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)ethyl] ether methanol solvate.
abstract: The title compound, 2,2'-(3-oxapentane-1,5-diyldioxy)diphenol, crystallizes as a methanol solvate, C16H18O5*CH4O. The methanol molecule, roughly perpendicular to the mean plane of the polyether molecule, is hydrogen bonded to the two polyether OH groups and to the central ether O atom. Possible C-H...pi intermolecular interactions are present.
