(2E,2′E)-1,1′-([1,1′-Biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis[3-(dimethylamino)prop-2-en-1-one]

Abstract

The title compound, C22H24N2O2, crystallizes in space group P21/n. The molecular structure is almost planar except for a tilt of the phenyl rings. The allyl groups on both ends exhibit the trans-form and the connected N atoms show sp2 character. The molecules are stacked and assembled along the c-axis direction by C—H...π interactions.
