E. Garciamartinez et al., HYDROGEN-BONDING IN THE 1 1 ADDUCT OF 1,10-PHENANTHROLINE AND 1,1'-BINAPHTHYL-2,2'-DIOL/, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 54, 1998, pp. 840-842
The title compound, C12H8N2.C20H14O2, was obtained as a 1:1 adduct fro
m non-aqueous solutions of the two components. The lattice contains ce
ntrosymmetric dimers in which O-H ... O and O-H ... N hydrogen bonding
is important. Rotation about the C-C' bond of the binaphthyl moiety p
roduces a torsion angle of -85.5 (2)degrees.
