N,N'-Diphenylethylenediamine, an N-H- and C-H-bonded network

A. Lennartson, T. Kokoli and M. Håkansson

Abstract: N,N'-Diphenylethylenediamine, C₁₄H₁₆N₂, forms monoclinic crystals, with a centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the central C-C bond. In the crystal structure, the intermolecular interactions are primarily of N-H and C-H character, without any contribution from N-HN hydrogen bonding. The N-H and C-H interactions, when considered separately, give rise to two sets of layers that, on superposition, generate a network structure.
