Diphenylamine

Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₂H₁₁N, two phenyl rings are bound to a central N atom. These rings are rotated with respect to one another by an average dihedral angle of 43 (5)°. There are eight unique molecules in the asymmetric unit and a total of 16 molecules in the unit cell. The compound displays an interesting packing structure, where phenyl rings display both layered packing to nearest neighbors as well as rotation of phenyl rings to pack perpendicular to one other.
