Selective solvent-free friedlander synthesis and supramolecular chemistry of 13,14-diphenyl-6,7-dihydrodibenzo [b,j] [4,7] phenanthroline

Abstract EN

Solvent-free Friedländer condensation of 1, 4-cyclohexadione with 2-aminobenzophenone led to the formation of 13, 14-diphenyl-6, 7-dihydrodibenzo [b, j][4,7] phenanthroline as single product.

The crystal structure of 13, 14-diphenyl-6, 7-dihydrodibenzo[b, j][4, 7] phenanthroline is determined using X-ray single crystal technique which reveals that it crystallises by the formation of network lattices that involve only weak assembly interactions.
