(Z)-3-(9-Anthryl)-1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-2-(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

摘要

In the title compound, C26H16ClN3O3, the dihedral angle between the anthracene mean plane and imidazole ring is 64.75 (2)°. In the crystal, π–π inter­actions between anthracene fragments lead to the formation of stacks of mol­ecules propagating in [100]. The short distance between the carbonyl groups of symmetry-related molecules [C⋯O = 2.985 (2) Å] indicates the existence of dipole–dipole inter­actions. The crystal packing also exhibits short inter­molecular contacts between the nitro groups and Cl atoms [Cl⋯O = 3.181 (2) Å].
