(Z)-3-(9-Anthryl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-p-tolylprop-2-en-1-one

Abstract

In the title molecule, C27H19N3O3, the imidazole and benzene rings make dihedral angles of 64.72 (4) and 64.02 (4)°, respectively, with the anthracene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.043 Å). The nitro group is coplanar with the imidazole ring [dihedral angle = 1.1 (1)°]. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7342 (10) and 3.7627 (9) Å.
