Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,2′-[(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)methanediyl]bis(3-hydroxy-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one)

Abstract

In the title compound, C31H44O5, molecules are connected by O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming hydrogen-bonded zigzag chains running along the b axis and parallel to the (001) plane. The molecular packing is stabilized by van der Waals interactions between these chains along the a and c axes. The intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure were quantified and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
