The 30H36N2O2, contains one half-molecule, the other half being generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. The is devoid of any classical hydrogen bonds however, non-classical C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules into chains propagating in [001] and a C—H⋯π interaction leads to the formation of a two-dimensional network in (011).

The starting reactant, 3,6-diphenyl-2,5-dihydro-1,4-diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione (L), was prepared following the literature procedure (Morton et al., 2002). The synthesis of the title compound was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere. L (0.59 g, 0.00204 mol) was stirred in 1-methyl-2-pyrolidinone (30 mL) at room temperature. Potassium-tert-butoxide (0.230 g, 0.00816 mmol) was then added follwed by the addition of the n-hexyl bromide (0.340 g, 0.00204 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 18 hours, after which it was poured into 30 mL of cold water. The precipitate formed was filtered off and the crude product purified by ν=C—H (ger.) 3055, ν-C—H (ger.) 2847-2911, ν-C=O (ger.) 1674; 1H NMR (CDCl3) : δ (ppm) 3.74 (t, 2H); 1.59 (p, 2H); 1.24 (6H, m); 0.82 (t, 3H)
using ethyl acetate/n-hexane (1:3) as Re-crystallization from methanol produced orange prism-like crystals of the title compound, suitable for X-ray analysis. Yield: 44%; m.p. = 243°C; IR (KBr):Aromatic H-atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and freeely refined. The others H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C–H = 0.96 Å for methyl H-atoms and 0.97 Å for methylene H atoms, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(C), where k = 1.5 for methyl H-atosm and = 1.2 for methylene H-atoms.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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. |

Diketodiphenylpyrrolopyrroles are industrially important red pigments (Herbst & Hunger, 1993). The success of these compounds as pigments relies, in part, on their high light fastness and very low solubility in most common solvents. This state of low solubility is presumed to result from the presence of a 2-dimensional network formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds (C-H···O), combined with π—π and Van der Waals interactions of the aryl substituents between layers of molecules (Iqbal et al., 1988).
The molecular structure of the title molecule is illustrated in Fig. 1. It is situated on an inversion center. The pyrrolopyrrole 8-membered ring is almost planar (C8 has a maximum deviation of 0.4636 (15) Å). Because of the steric effect of the alkyl group, the pyrrolopyrrole and phenyl rings are not coplanar. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of these rings is 34.38 (9) °.
In the crystal molecules are linked into one dimensional chains, generated by two–folded screw operation along the c-axis of the unit cell, via weak C3-H3 ···O2ii interactions (Symmetry code: (ii) x,1/2-y, 1/2 +z]; Fig. 2 and Table 1]. There is also a C–H ··· π interaction in the crystal structure involving the phenyl ring (C1-C6; centroid Cg) and atom C2 in a neighbouring molecule [C2—H2 ··· Cgb: H2···Cgb = 2.90Å and C2—H2···Cgb = 129°; symmetry code: (b) - x, -1/2 + y, 3/2 - z]. This interaction forms a one dimensional chain running along the c-axis. These two interactions lead to the formation of a two-dimensional network in (011) [Fig. 3].
