Powder X-ray investigation of 4,4'-diisocyano-3,3'-dimethylbiphenyl

M. Rukiah and M. Al-Ktaifani

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₆H₁₂N₂, was investigated in a powder diffraction study and its structure refined utilizing the Rietveld Method. The molecule has approximate C2 symmetry. The dihedral angle between the rings is 25.6 (7)°. The crystal packing is consolidated by weak C-HC [triple bond] N hydrogen-bond-like contacts, which lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network. Further stabilization of the crystal structure is achived by weak non-covalent [pi] - [pi] interactions between aromatic rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.839 (8) Å.
