Hydrogen bonding in 2-phenylimidazoline

R. T. Stibrany, H. J. Schugar and J. A. Potenza

Abstract: The title compound, C₉H₁₀N₂, crystallizes with two formula units in the asymmetric unit. When viewed along the b axis, the two crystallographically unique molecules form alternating columns along a. Within each column, the molecules are linked by N-HN hydrogen bonds to form infinite chains. Intermolecular CC and CN distances suggest that molecules in adjacent columns are linked primarily by C-H interactions, with little, if any, stacking. Metric parameters for the imidazoline fragments are comparable to those of other 2-substituted imidazoline species.
