The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 2, 2'-pyridyl (1.0 mmol), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1.0 mmol) and ammonium acetate (10 mmol) in 8 ml acetic acid refluxed for 6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured into water, the precipitate was filtered off and dried to give the target compound in 20% yield. Colourless prisms of the title compound were grown by slow evaporation of a solution in mathanol.
H2A, H2B, and H2C atoms were located in a difference Fourier map, with N—H, O—H and H···H distances restrained to 0.90 (1), 0.85 (1), and 1.45 (2) Å, respectively. The remaining H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.93 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
Lophine, 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole, is a well known potential chemiluminesscent (CL) compound (Radziszewsky, 1877). 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole was synthesized by the methods similar to those previously reported (Nakashima et al., 1995; Kuroda et al., 1993). Recently, we have synthesized an analogic structure of imidazole derivative, namely, the title compound, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole. We present its
here.The compound consists of a 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole molecule and a water molecule of crystallization (Fig. 1). The central imidazole ring forms dihedral angles of 25.3 (2), 22.5 (2), and 29.2 (2)°, respectively, with the C1—C6 benzene ring, C9—C13/N3 pyridine ring, and C15—C19/N4 pyridine ring. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 38.0 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the central imidazole ring and the benzene ring is 25.3 (2)°. The
is stabilized by intermolecular O—H···O, O—H···N, and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, and Table 1).For early studies of lophine, see: Radziszewsky (1877). For further synthetic details, see: Nakashima et al. (1995); Kuroda et al. (1993).

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. |

Lophine, 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole, is a well known potential chemiluminesscent (CL) compound (Radziszewsky, 1877). 2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole was synthesized by the methods similar to those previously reported (Nakashima et al., 1995; Kuroda et al., 1993). Recently, we have synthesized an analogic structure of imidazole derivative, namely, the title compound, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole. We present its crystal structure here.
The compound consists of a 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-di(2-pyridyl)imidazole molecule and a water molecule of crystallization (Fig. 1). The central imidazole ring forms dihedral angles of 25.3 (2), 22.5 (2), and 29.2 (2)°, respectively, with the C1—C6 benzene ring, C9—C13/N3 pyridine ring, and C15—C19/N4 pyridine ring. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 38.0 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the central imidazole ring and the benzene ring is 25.3 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H···O, O—H···N, and N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2, and Table 1).
