1,1′-{[1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(oxy)bis(3,1-phenylene)}diethanone

Abstract

In the title compound, C24H22O4, the centroid of the central benzene ring lies on a special position of 2/m site symmetry, while the terminal aromatic rings are located on a mirror plane. The central and terminal benzene rings are perpendicular to each other. In the crystal, the molecules are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional polymeric structure. The network is further consolidated by a C—H...π interaction.
