2,6-di-tert-butylphenol revisited at 110 K.
The title compound, C(14)H(22)O, was studied at 110 K. The phenolic hydroxy group was found to be coplanar with the benzene ring and, due to steric hindrance from the tert-butyl groups, this hydroxy group does not form hydrogen bonds. The shortest intermolecular O...O distance is 3.1008 (11) A, with an O-H...O angle of 117.3 (16) degrees . There are no significant intermolecular pi-pi stacking or C-H...pi interactions.
