2-Chloro-7-methyl-12-phenyldibenzo[b,g][1,8]naphthyridin-11(6H)-one

Abstract

In the title compound, C23H15ClN2O, the fused ring system is planar: the deviation of all the non-H atoms from the plane through all four fused rings is less than 0.31 Å. The plane of the phenyl ring is inclined at 71.78 (5)° to the mean plane of the 1,8-naphthrydine ring system. The crystal structure is devoid of any classical hydrogen bonds but π–π interactions are present.
