Diaminomesitylene
Abstract
The title compound, C9H14N2 (systematic name: 2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3-diamine), is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.025 Å). In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. Only one of the four N-bonded H atoms forms a hydrogen bond, perhaps due to steric crowding. The chains are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming sheets lying parallel to the bc plane
