An engineered N-H⋯π interaction: Crystal structure of 4-tritylbenzamide-p-xylene (2[1)

Abstract

The title host-guest crystal structure is designed to contain an N-H⋯π interaction. The crystal structure is stabilised by an N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded amide dimer and weak N-H⋯π and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The phenyl rings of triphenylmethyl groups interact via the edge-to-face herringbone T-motif. © 2002 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
