Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of phen-yl(5,7,8a-triphenyl-1,2,3,7,8,8a-hexa-hydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)methanone with an unknown solvent.

In the title compound, C32H28N2O, the imidazolidine and pyridine rings of the central hexa-hydro-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring system adopt envelope and screw-boat conformations, respectively. The mol-ecule exhibits two weak intra-molecular π-π inter-actions between phenyl rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯ O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked by pairs of C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming infinite chains along the c-axis direction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (73.4%), C⋯H/H⋯C (18.8%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (5.7%) contacts. The contribution of some disordered solvent to the scattering was removed using the SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2015 ▸). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18] in PLATON. The solvent contribution was not included in the reported mol-ecular weight and density.
