Abstract
- The title compound, C19H13N, which crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit, was synthesized by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 9-bromoanthracene with pyridin-4-ylboronic acid and purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Light-yellow crystals of 4-(anthracen-9-yl)-pyridine suitable for X-ray diffraction were collected by the solvent evaporation method. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are connected by intermolecular C—H...π (pyridine) interactions [d(H7...Cg) = 2.7391 (2) Å], forming cyclic centrosymmetric dimers, further resulting in an infinite one-dimensional linear chain along the c-axis direction. Weak face-to-face π–π stacking interactions [d(Cg...Cg) = 3.6061 (2) Å] link neighboring lamellar networks into the supramolecular structure.
