P-toluenesulfonyl chloride (7.62 g, 40 mmol) was added slowly, whilst stirring, to a pyridine solution (50 ml) containing 1,3-propanediol (1.52 g, 20 mmol). The mixture was stirred for about 4 h in the range of 268 K - 278 K. Water (40 ml) was added to the resulting solution, the precipitate was collected by filtration, the solid product was crystallized using ethanol. The solid product (6.85 g, 20 mmol) dissolved in DMF (100 ml) containing K2CO3 (2 g), p-nitrophenol (0.54 g, 4 mmol) was added slowly, to the DMF(100 ml) solution, and the mixture was heated at 353 K for 24 h, and then the solvent was removed into water and filtered, the residue was washed with water, and 1,3-bis(-nitrylphenoxy)-propane was obtained. Hydrazine (30 g,80%) was added slowly to a stirred solution of ethanol (50 ml) containing 1,4-bis(-nitrylphenoxy)-propane (3.12 g, 10 mmol), FeCl3.6H2O (0.8 g) and active carbon (1.8 g) at 348 K for 5 h, and then the solvent was filtered, the solid product was crystallized using ethanol, Single crystals of (I) were obtained after a week.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.97 Å (methylene) and 0.93 Å (aromatic), N—H = 0.861 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

As part of our ongoing investigation on bibenzene compound, we present the crystal structure of the title compound (I) containing multiple functional groups that can develop strong interactions with cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]) (Freeman et al., 1981; Day & Arnold, 2000; Day et al., 2002; Kim et al., 2000)
The crystal structure of (I) is shown in Fig.1. Two phenyl rings were linked by ethereal chain forming a non-coplanar structure and the dihedral angle between two phenyl ring is 26.13 (9) Å. Molecules are linked via N2—H2B···O1 hydrogen bonds forming a undulant one-dimensional chains (Fig. 2) and adjacent chains are linked by C—H···π interaction forming a three-dimensional framework (Table 1, Cg1 and Cg2 are centroids of the phenyl ring (C1—C6) and (C10—C15), respectively).
