SYNTHESIS, CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, HIRSHFELD SURFACE, ENERGY FRAMEWORK ANALYSIS OF A TETRAPHENYL BENZENE

Abstract

Phenyl benzene derivatives are important from medicinal point of view because of their widespread biological significance. In the present work the title compound, having molecular formula,C30 H22 has been synthesized and characterized by XRD, Hirshfeld surface and energy framework analysis. Single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis shows that the title compound crystallizes in orthorhombic system with space group Pbcn. Tetra phenyl benzene exhibits a symmetrical structure. The molecule exhibits C-H… interactions forming corrugated sheets. The bright red spot shows the C-H… interactions in the title compound which confirms the XRD results. The red and blue triangle on the shape index and the large flat region on the curvature refer to the C-H…interactions.
