title: 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol revisited at 110 K.
abstract: 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.
