Crystal structure of 11-[4-(hex-yloxy)phen-yl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a][1,10]phenanthroline.
The title compound, C25H24N4O, was prepared from 2-chloro-phenanthroline and hexyl-oxyphenyl-tetra-zole. The main difference between the two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit is the orientation of the all-anti-configured hex-yloxy chain: in A the C-O-C-C torsion angle is 175.9 (2)° whereas it is -88.3 (3)° in B. The benzene substitution in the bay of the triazolophenanthroline results in a helical distorsion of the heterocyclic core, the dihedral angles between the mean planes formed by quinoline and benzotriazole ring systems are 13.73 (9) for mol-ecule A and 14.87 (8)° for B. The dihedral angles between the triazole ring and the attached benzene ring are 45.87 (15) in A and 53.93 (14)° in B. The angular annulation of four rings and the benzene substituent results in a helical distortion of the aromatic framework. The crystal is formed from layers composed of centrosymmetric pairs of A 2, B 2 mol-ecules with inter-digitating alkyl chains.
