1-[(2-Hydroxy-1-naphthyl)(phenyl)methyl]-2-naphthol ethanol solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, C27H20O2·C2H6O, intra‐ and intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules and seem to be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure. All the H atoms in the hydroxyl groups are disordered.

Host-guest interaction in propeller-shaped molecules. Part one: Single crystal X-ray analysis of benzylidene-1,1′-bis-2-naphthol solvent cocrystals

“…X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the cocrystals obtained in methanol and ethanol [7] crystallize in the space group P 1 1 with one molecule of propeller-shaped molecule and one molecule of the solvent in the asymmetric unit. They are isoformula with respect to the host, the only variation being the guest molecules.…”
