N,N-Diphenyl-4-(1H-pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)aniline ethanol monosolvate
The title compound, C32H21N4·C2H5OH, crystallized as an ethanol monosolvate. In the mol-ecule of this phenanthroline derivative, the pyridine rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.54 (13)°. The tri-phenyl-amine group, introduced as an electron donor, shows a propeller-type structure, and the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 68.71 11), 63.92 (16) and 70.81 (15)°. In the crystal, the phenanthroline mol-ecules are linked via the solvent mol-ecule by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of zigzag chains propagating along [010]. These chains are linked via C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming undulating two-dimensional networks extending in the a- and b-axis directions.
